Can one person change the world?

I believe one person can change the world in more ways than one. Take an inventor, Jesus Christ, Hitler and other's. They made a huge impact on the world. Then I look at other's who tout funny things of this and that thinking they'll change the world - or at least are very opinionated (i'm not at all - lol). Why do they not voice their ideals louder? Why, if they think they are doing good for all mankind do they not speak what they know? Is it fear, or is it because they know that in reality they would not stand tall?

What things are worthy of fighting for, changing for?

Can a person change the world by being quiet in their little home with their families - one person at a time? I think so - especially if they are saved and pray to their God in heaven as well as do what He wills in their life.

Change - when should it take place, what should take place?

Philippians 4:6 (NASB) Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

I guess in ending all I have to say is - if you feel you're doing something God wants you to do, then do it and do it boldly.

Hiya Mandi,

I agree with you that we can change the world by showing our children how to be godly. I don't always think that way and can be discouraged when I sinfully compare myself with others.

I love the pics of Lish. I cannot believe how tall she looks.
I like your idea on the letters, too. That is a great way to teach Jon the alphabet - much like Sesame Street, eh? :-)

Your flower pics are pretty good for an ameteur!

Much love,
Beth

My Adult Tonsillectomy Story

Post Surgery as soon as I arrived home. For anyone who really knows me, I have always been completely terrified of surgery. So when I went to an ENT and he said I needed a tonsillectomy I was not very happy. I found out in either January or February and I couldn't make my appointment till the end of June because that's when my husband could get off work to help out. I wrote this so I could hopefully help someone going through the same thing. Without further ado, here goes. Week Before Surgery: This is when I started purchasing everything I had seen online that might be helpful. I also started setting up an area on the main floor where I could be inclined for sleeping and have everything at my finger tips. At the bottom of this post I will have a list of items that I personally found helpful for my recovery. I also have food allergies and tried to stay away from them as much as possible. So my food options may seem different than ma...

Summer Herbal Tea

I made this up a couple years ago and it has def. been a summer favorite for me as well as for my kids. If you can't drink black tea because of the caffeine (or other reasons), give this a try. Ingredients: 3 parts red raspberry leaf tea (not raspberry flavored) 1 part peppermint tea water Directions: 1. Steep tea as your normally would. For me I use enough boiled water for a 2 quart pitcher. I usually add in 6 Red Raspberry tea bags and 2 Peppermint Tea Bags. If I have bulk, each tea bag itself usually contains about 1 teaspoon of loose tea. I steep for 10 - 15 minutes, then take the tea bags out. 2. Add sweetener to taste - honey, stevia, etc... 3. Chill. It's that simple. What you're left with is a refreshing glass of tea for those hot summer days. Below are some benefits of each of these teas. Use caution when drinking peppermint tea while pregnant. Spearmint is generally a better option. Red Raspberry Leaf Pepper...
