Today for Show and Tell, I've brought a tiny marvel of nature: a single snowflake. I think we might all learn a lesson from how this utterly unique and exquisite crystal turns into an ordinary, boring molecule of water, just like every other one, when you bring it in the classroom. And now, while the analogy sinks in, I'll be leaving you drips and going outside." ~ Calvin, from Calvin & Hobbes

Spank out Day
I'm a little late because I wasn't aware of today. Everyday should be spank out day.
I grew up in a "spare the rod" family and most of my family still follows that belief. It's very hard to talk to them about it. But have you seen this blog: http://parentingfreedom.com/discipline/
I sent it to a very conservative friend once and all she would reply back with was "I disagree". :( It's sad when people use the same book to justify spanking as well as eternal love. wth?
Thanks for the link Tara. It's good to know this is there for people.
I always said if I believed that God wanted me to beat my kids I wouldn't be a follower of Christ. I used to say Christian, but I'm not really a christian anymore, just a believer.
