And if recruited, would send my child to
Canada.
BTW, we did have a discussion with the youth about
what they thought he!! would be like. My hubby and I also included our pastor just in case they had questions we didn't feel qualified to answer. Boy did we ever get some wonderful answers. I myself always imagine fire and unbearable heat. One suggested being all alone in a small dark place for eternity. One suggested that if you had an intense fear, for example spiders, you would spend eternity in a room full of them with them crawling all over your body. I think God wants us to use our imagination when we think of different things, after all he gave us the imagination to use.
How much do you tell your kids about your youth?
This question has come up a lot more lately now that my DD is 15. DS is 17. I was a bit of a "wild child" in my youth. Nothing compared to some of todays youth but I definitely did things I am not proud of. Yesterday at lunch with my DH entire family the conversation turned to when I had to choose between getting a car or going "away" to college. My said that he knew I got a car within a year of turning 16 what happened to it. I simply said I got in trouble and my father sold it. There has been a lot of stuff on the internet as well as on the Ellen show about the "meanest mother in the world" selling her son's car when she found alochol in it. Well, my father did that exact thing to me in 1984. I did quite a few other things that I really don't want to tell my kids about but I don't want to lie. I don't ever want to hear "Well Mom, you did these things and you turned out okay." I'm just not sure exactly how to respond to certain questions. Anyone have suggestions on how to handle this?
Youth Group Name
My DH is a youth pastor, our Youth Group at the beach was called WAVES, which stood for Worship Active Voices Exclaiming Salvation. We moved up to the mtns of our state, and he had coined the name for our Youth Group as EXCITE, which stands for Exalting Christ in Today's Environment!!. We are still looking for a home church since we moved in Jan 2007. My DH is getting very disheartened... Good luck to your Youth Group. Oh, by the way, if you live anywhere close to Myrtle Beach, SC then consider taking your youth next year to the Big God Conference on New Year's eve/day. It is AWESOME!!
That is why they are here... Mexican government wants them out

Mexican crockpot
1 lb ground beef
1 lb Velveeta, cubed
1 small onion, chopped
1 can Ro-Tel
1 can Ranch Style Beans
1 can chili with no beans
8 oz sour cream
Brown ground beef and onions; drain. Combine remaining ingredients except for sour cream in crockpot and stir. Cook on low for 4 hours. Just before serving, stir in sour cream.
When we make this, we serve it over rice with taco style toppings, but it can also be used as a really great dip. It's always a hit at potlucks for me.
Ideas for Youth Group Names
I'm teaching a small youth group at our church and I'm trying to come up with a good name for them besides "(Insert church names here) Youth Group". Also, our Baptist Association has an association-wide youth group and I'm trying to come up with some ideas for them too.
(I know this is church-related but I was hoping I'd get more ideas if I put it on the Gab Board)
TIA!!
mexican sounds good.
I love guacamole. I slice them in my salads and top them on turkey burgers too.
Mexican Chicken soup
Ingredients
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium rib celery, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
6 cups chicken broth, low-sodium canned
1/4 cup canned green chiles
1 (15 1/2-ounce) can posole, drained or frozen corn kernels
4 canned whole peeled tomatoes, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 cup cooked skinless shredded chicken breast (about 4 ounces)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Juice of 1 lime
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, garlic, chili powder, and cumin, and cook until the onion softens, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth, bring to a boil, reduce the heat slightly, and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Add the green chiles, posole, tomatoes, and oregano and cook for another 5 minutes.
Pull the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chicken, cilantro leaves, and lime juice. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
I normally buy 2 of the already roasted chickens at the store (Wal-mart) and eat most of one chicken for dinner and then use the leftovers as well as the next chicken for the soup, I know that is more chicken than what is called for, but it just really makes for a wonderful soup. I don't always have cilantro on hand so I usually leave that out. Also, for the whole tomatoes, I usually use a large can of crushed tomatoes. Sometimes the soup is a little to thin so I might throw in a handful of instant rice. My family can't get enough of it.
I love Mexican food, but sometimes I
make my own or other stuff and make my own TV dinners. Chicken pot pie sounds good with the cooler weather. Could also pick up a presmoked presliced brisket or ribs and heat in the crock pot. Have the recipe for Wendy's chili which I make (TopSecretRecipes.com).
No but I had an illegal Mexican immigrant ...sm
who moved in a trailer who moved on the same 10 acres I live on. The land doesn't belong to me so it wasn't up to me whether or not she lived there. Anyways she took it upon herself to give my address as her own. Her mail started coming to my box. Never asked or nothing. Then she would go check the mail in MY box and sometimes my sales papers would go missing and such. Didn't like it at all. I started making sure I got the mail first and not giving her her mail. She would come ask if she had mail and I would say no you sure don't. I think she got the point. She doesn't get mail at my box anymore. LOL Got rid of that problem.
Update after doctor visit/youth council.
The doctor wants to try the Respirdal for another month and see if he gets any better, if the auditory hallucinations stop, etc. My son also gained 3 pounds in the last month. I'm not super worried about him gaining too much weight as he is an active kid but just one more thing to watch.
The youth council came up with my son's "punishment" for the theft, running away, fighting, etc. He has to write a paper. Not even a paper. He has to write 5 things that he likes about himself and 5 things he can do to improve his world. That's it. Oh wait, they also told him that he has to feed our pets without me reminding him. I've had it with the legal system. I'm making him do my own community service. They are talking this kid to death and basically teaching him that if he doesn't behave, they'll keep talking to him.
I'm at my breaking point with all the mental issues, but seriously...where is the punishment for kids. It's like the legal system over does it or doesn't do it at all. I need a nap now.
Thank you to everyone who e-mailed with concern for us. I really appreciate that there are so many strangers out there who care enough to reach out. 
not a fluke - held in Mexican theater...
There's talk of it going into the hundreds of thousands
even millions...they aren't really sure. Our cats ate some of those foods but not on a regular basis. They regularly eat Whiskas and Friskies...I am waiting to hear about those next.
Alice, I wish your kitty luck in getting well.
Navy? On a boat with thousands of hor*y men? I don't think so. nm
d
Yes and so are hundreds of thousands of people.

You are a bit high with the "hundreds of thousands."

Right, but dont panic. Thousands die from flu every
nm
Thousands of nerve endings insignificant?
Well - as far as I know, the foreskin protects the glans. It also keeps the glans moist and secretes antibacterial substances. Also, circumcision greatly desensitizes the glans, reducing the pleasure quotient for men. Did you know that?
And yet there are thousands (probably millions) starving to death in America.....nm

Nice story, but there are thousands of starving children in this country at this moment
that are not getting so lucky :( And, as for me, well I am still waiting for this calm to face the storm you talk of, cause I sure have not been blessed with it.
With youth comes minimal life experience, minimal
