Goliath Unions Crush Dreams of a California Family.
Excerpt: The Ramirez’s told us: “We’re in one of the poorest neighborhoods, but at Gompers we see our dream coming true. Our son will be the first in our family to go to university. Our daughter didn’t have that luck.”...Tragically, in fall 2018, unions shattered the Ramirez’s dreams... #covid19 #coronavirus #education #unionbullies #conservative #teacherlife #teacher

Bed Head! Got Some? I just love little kids with

Bed Head! Got Some?
I just love little kids with "Bed Head." Note the giant smiles on the faces of those two cuties in the photograph. They're not worried about keeping up appearances or fitting into the crowd. They're just enjoying life - to the full!
I've been enjoying a bit of Bed Head lately too. It's this quarantine. I don't have to dress up for any engagements, show up to any luncheons or even don "business attire." It's FANTASTIC!
Charles and I have been using online platforms like Zoom meetings for a couple of years, but the quarantine has made "Zoom" meetings even better because now everyone is into it. Even teachers, parents and students are Zooming!

Don't you LOVE how you can "Zoom" in your pajama bottoms and slippers and just throw on a decent top? No one cares!
Even professionals are dressing a lot more casual than usual during "Zooms," and there's something real and personal about it. Folks seem a lot less worried about keeping up appearances - just like the kids in the photo, they seem to be taking themselves less seriously.

As we would have said in the 70's, "I can dig it!" My bed head was so bad the other day that I decided to throw on a baseball cap while "Zooming." Don't worry, it was cute, and it sort of matched my top.

Now I rarely use the word "awesome" because I think it's overused and people use it to describe things that are far less than awesome. But wearing a ball cap during a business meeting...that was awesome! You should try it sometime!
All of this got me to thinking about the lessons we can learn from little kids. Lessons like enjoying nature, cherishing family, welcoming newcomers, singing and dancing, sharing, loving fearlessly, trusting God, believing in miracles, taking ourselves a lot less seriously, and resting comfortably in our own skin - even with bed head!
I know this quarantine is a challenge for everyone, but it is my sincerest hope that all of you are enjoying a bit of rest and a whole lot of bed head!

More Inspiration from FK&C Prayer Leader: These da

More Inspiration from FK&C Prayer Leader: These days are unsettling to say the least! Most of us are safe, but our hearts cannot help but hurt for those who are affected, especially the precious people on the frontlines of this crisis! We are relying on God as a sovereign all-knowing Father, yet doubts, fears and heavy hearts creep in quickly. Still, I conclude: God made us in His image, thus He created our emotions. That tells me He fully understands them! This year, the Passover story and what it represents holds a new and unique meaning for me. When I think of us sheltering in the comfort of our homes, we're not remotely close to the bondage the Jews suffered at the hands of the Egyptians! I can’t imagine the fear and horror that gripped them. Remember how relentless our mighty God was in coming to their rescue? The book of Exodus recounts the ten plagues sent to Egypt after their wicked king refused to release God’s people. His stubborn refusal led to the final showdown. God's people sprinkled blood on their doorposts and God assured they would be safe and passed over from the angel of destruction. God’s children were instructed to stay within their homes and wait for deliverance. I can’t help but relate this to us today. We have been asked to stay in our homes. God always asks us to wait and watch as He delivers us! Passover serves as a modern-day hope that those who are currently oppressed will someday find freedom. A friend of mine recommended tying a red ribbon on the front door. A symbolism of being covered by the blood of the Lamb. It’s a beautiful representation of the Passover. If you participate in this tradition with my family, I pray it will bring you a source of comfort as we wait and stay strong, believing that our families will in a sense be “passed over” from this virus..every time I open my front door, I am reminded of God’s mercy on us, and I pray this virus will pass over our home. I am reminded that He promises to take care of us, protect us and provide an eternal home with Him with no sickness or disease. The red on my door also serves as a reminder that the same mercy He lavished on the first Passover, He lavishes on us today. Linda

Matthew serves the elderly through his gift of mus

Matthew serves the elderly through his gift of music, serves children as a Royal Rangers leader at his church, earns outstanding grades in college and is a blessing to everyone who knows him.
But since Matthew has Asperger's Syndrome, thoughtless people, including adults, have bullied him his entire life.

But Matthew refuses to let others define him. He knows he's made in the image of God.
Every April, Matthew supports Autism Awareness Month.

Matthew also published a book this year! Only 23-years old, and he's found the strength and courage to share his personal testimony of living with autism!
We hope you will support Matthew by following his youtube channel and buying his book!
His book, Juggling the Issues: Living with Asperger's Syndrome, is available on Amazon.

If you're suddenly homeschooling your kids and looking for some outstanding lessons, you can help your children to learn more about empathy for others and living the Golden Rule (treat others the way you want to be treated) by reading Matthew's book or studying other inspiring stories of people who've experienced bullying or overcome difficulties. After reading those stories, students can:
1. Write a personal letter to the author. Teach your child how to address the envelope too!
2. Write a personal letter to someone you know who could use encouragement, support or a friend.
3. Reach out to a child or adult who is bullied and offer kindness.
4. Write an essay on how to promote kindness.
5. Write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper inspiring others to be kind.
6. Look up the Golden Rule (Luke 6:31), memorize it, and discuss ways to put it into action.
7. Create a piece of art depicting the Golden Rule.
8. Now that you've been shut in for a while, you can relate to many elderly people who've been shut in and lonely for years. Become a pen pal to an elderly person (or your grandparents) and bring a smile to a face!
Our world has become so unkind (including many of our schools) that a large dose of kindness is just what folks need. If we're like Matthew, we can use this time of quarantine to grow a whole lot more kindness and we can make the world a better place.

That beautiful lady in the photo is our FK&C praye

That beautiful lady in the photo is our FK&C prayer leader, Linda. Linda sends our prayer team the most inspiring messages. We're hoping they'll inspire you too.

God made the prayers of His people the cause of His triumph in battles throughout Scripture. Isaiah 31:21 says, “Because you have prayed…” Scripture goes on to tell us that because of these devoted prayers, the strongest king in the known world was subdued!
Wow, think of it. Does prayer win battles?

As I was reading recently, I was taken by this statement: Isaiah’s greatest achievement was the deliverance of Jerusalem! It was through his PRAYER and wise advice to King Hezekiah, and of course by the direct miraculous intervention of God, that the Syrian army was sent home in disarray.
We can read these stories not really grasping the magnitude of God’s miracles as a direct result of prayer!
Only in times of hopelessness and despair can God’s deliverance build such extreme faith! His glory is always best performed in difficult times!
It has been said that vision is seeing what ought to be, and what can be in the future! And passion is the devotion and zeal to make that vision a reality.
Let us continue to be people of zeal and devotion, people who pray with vision…Vision to see children and teachers delivered from evil indoctrination! Let us in a sense wash these verses over For Kids and Country, making them come alive!
Ecclesiastes 8:5
"Whoever obeys His commands will come to no harm, and the wise heart will know the proper time." Ecclesiastes 12:11
The words of the wise are like goads,* their collected sayings like firmly embedded nails-given by one Shepherd.
*a spiked stick used for driving cattle
Psalms 5-1:3
Listen to my words Lord, consider my lament, hear my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray in the morning, Lord you hear my voice. In the morning I lay my requests before you, and wait EXPECTANTLY. Let me leave you with these lyrics from Bethel Music: "You split the sea so we can walk right through it. You drown our fears in perfect love.
You still our fears and we proclaim. We are children of God." So let’s go out and joyfully sing our freedom!

Linda

"Some folks are really scared right now. That's un

"Some folks are really scared right now. That's understandable.

When I was 12-years old, the summer before sixth grade, my daddy suffered a massive double subarachnoid brain hemorrhage while far away on his National Guard summer training. He was given three days to live. I was told I'd never see him again.

I was terrified.

On my knees in my grandma's bedroom, I begged God to save him. And He did.

Doctors told us Dad was the first person in medical history to survive his exact trauma, and they admitted he'd been healed by a miracle, but they warned us that Dad's life would be lived in a vegetable state. When he awoke from his coma, they cheered, but told us he'd never live a normal life.
Daddy was skinny when he came home months later, and he was weak, but you know what? He quickly resumed his activities. He returned to his high energy job, coached my siblings and me in all of our sports, cracked us up with his silly antics, worked on our broken down cars, and continued his ministry to the elderly too. Only God.

That experience at a young age bolstered my faith and taught me the power of passionate, fervent prayer when lifted up to a loving God. I'm not saying He heals every illness - Daddy's own Mama died when he was only 3-months old. Life on this earth is full of suffering, but when God heals, there's no denying His tender and gracious touch.

That's Daddy and me in the photograph. At 82-years old, Daddy still works out daily, he's still cracking us up, and still visits those old folks. Many of them are younger than him!
He's always happy too; even though he's suffered painful hurts in life. If you asked him why he's full of joy, he'd tell you, "I put my trust and faith in Jesus." I've heard him say that a million times.

When I grow up, I want to be like Daddy. I don't want to allow the fears of this world to consume me. I want to keep my eyes on the One who said, "In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 b (NKJV). Life on Planet Earth delivers a lot of scary illnesses, broken hearts, and unfair trials, but there is a good and loving God Who desires to deliver us through them all.

Wonder: A Secret of Great Teaching One of the sec

Wonder: A Secret of Great Teaching

One of the secrets to great teaching is tapping into the sense of wonder in students and their natural desire to learn and understand. Ever been around a two-year-old in the "why" stage? You get the picture.

Children are full of wonder.

One of the best classrooms is nature. Note the precious little girl in the photo. She's found a treasure trove of learning possibilities right at her fingertips - she never even had to enter a classroom.

We adults are made for wonder too. But many of us have gotten too busy for wonder, or we're too stressed and distracted to slow down and let wonder envelop us. And that's a real shame.

That's why one of the many blessings of our current national struggle is that our overly busy society has been placed on hold for a while. Now we have time for wonder.

Since millions find themselves suddenly educating children at home (or in virtual classrooms), some of our gracious teacher connections will be allowing me to share their favorite fun or wonderful (ie: full of wonder) lessons with you.

While they're organizing their resources, let's start with a lesson that little girl in the photo would love.
It's from "Kids Discover." Just visit the #linkinbio for The Science Behind Bubbles. It includes a simple bubble recipe, and the author reminds us: "Bubbles provide the opportunity to study science concepts such as elasticity, surface tension, chemistry, light, and even geometry..." So get out there and enjoy some wonder. Even if it's cold in your part of the world, you can always chase bubbles in the house! You can fill your mind and tense muscles with more disturbing news, or you can unplug and nourish your mind, body and heart with the wonder all over God's world.

Peace, Be Still

Isn't that a gorgeous scene? I snapped this photo while walking my favorite trail on Sunday morning. God's always showing off His creative genius at this spot.
It's a glorious place, and it's peaceful.
This Sunday the scenery wasn't the only thing feeding my soul. We're "sheltered in place" here in California, and mostly stuck in our homes. I know a lot of folks are frustrated with the situation, and many are full of fear. But I see a silver lining in this crisis that brings me more peace: Families are finally spending time together instead of focusing on mounds of activities and way too much school-related stress.

Typically, I walk this trail and see only a handful of other people. This Sunday was different. There were families all over the trail. Kids sitting atop their daddy's shoulders, toddlers smelling daisies, little ones racing their mamas up a hill, and so many other sweet scenes. They were smiling and laughing, and didn't seem to be missing the stress one bit.

Simple pleasures deliver profound impact.

Remarkable that we've been praying for families to reunite and fighting to deliver our children and loving teachers from the dangers in our public schools, and now they're reunited and delivered.

This is a silver lining and an answer to prayers. Now it's up to us to recognize it and to ask God for direction and peace.
