Does anyone have any information on Harriet Miers – Bush’s pick for the Surpreme Court?
Confict is good when it sharpens us. Conflict is good when it takes us to the next level. We can’t take the next step without pruning. Confict can be the catalyst that delivers us. I call it “fighting clean”. Most people will advoid confict like the plague. (I use to.) But I have found value in a good clean fight. Iron sharpens iron. People can sharpen people if it’s done correctly.

Hi RAndy. RYC: To take something that someone else has written and claim that you wrote it is plagurism. And when you take something from someone without permission it is stealing.
Don’t EVEN get me started about the treatment of Native Americans in the last 400 years! ((ROFL)) We didn’t kill the Romans to usurp their architecture design; we haven’t tried to annihilate their race because they’re not like us. There’s a few of the differences and there are plenty more.
Harriet Miers
supposedly she is pro life…
Hey Sandcastles I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Christian Worldview article about Harriet Miers
Here’s what I’ve gotten so far…

When you say…projected visions separate from the actions of the child??? I’m assuming you mean…when working toward my projected vision of how I’d like my child to behave, my child’s actions may not reflect that of my projected vision. That’s when I need to forgive…myself and my daughter. Otherwise, I would be deeply disappointed, affecting my daughter because…worries, fears, disappointment, and frustrations radiate to anger within ourselves which radiates outward toward others. I now wonder if I should even have a goal or vision of the future? What if the disappointment is so severe down the line that it will take a lot of healing from reading the word? I’m wondering what Jesus would do?
I can definitely relate to separating myself from my daughter’s actions. God has unconditional love for us. My daughter has mentioned to me, out of blue, that she knows I love her no matter what she does. I was just not sure what you meant by projected vision. When you say…”I don’t look at her behavior I look at the way God sees her (vision). I have to or I’ll try to change her behavior in my own flesh – that’s called control.” Instead of shaping my daughter’s behavior the way my mom disciplined me (i.e. to meet my mom’s personal needs), I am shaping my daughter’s behavior to that which is pleasing to God (i.e. my projected vision is aligned with God’s vision as much as humanly possible). Let me know if I’m still missing the point because I’m always open to improvements. Now I’m wondering…If I’m trying to align my vision to that of God’s, does that mean that I’m playing God?
I just came back from Sunday Service where I received my answer. It turns out that I’m not playing God if I align my vision to God’s vision by being more like Jesus (i.e. fruit of the spirit) in disciplining (i.e. shaping, teaching) my daughter.
