Marriage, a Safe Haven

God instituted marriage and the family for procreation to teach us about how He lives. He wants mankind to know what motivates Him, what His purpose is for mankind, and how His nature and character developed in human beings would give families peaceful relationships. If mankind functioned in marriage the way God intended, this world would be a vastly different place. The dysfunctional families that are increasingly the norm would seldom exist. However today we see the removal of any … [Read more...] about Marriage, a Safe Haven

Where is AI Leading Us?

Artificial Intelligence is advancing at an exponential pace. AI’s processing power and programming algorithms are advancing incredibly rapidly and largely out of the sight of the general population. The limitations of power intensive hardware are being solved faster than alternative power sources can be developed. And AI is exhausting the supply of internet text used by programmers to teach it and is now training itself. In some functions, it is already better than human beings, and soon it … [Read more...] about Where is AI Leading Us?

A Silent Tragedy in How We Are Raising Our Children

There is a silent tragedy that is unfolding today in our homes and concerns our most precious jewels: our children. Our children are in a devastating emotional state. In the last 15 years, researchers have given us increasingly alarming statistics on a sharp and steady increase in childhood mental illness that is now reaching epidemic proportions: Statistics do not lie: What is happening and what are we doing wrong? Today’s children are being over-stimulated and over-gifted with … [Read more...] about A Silent Tragedy in How We Are Raising Our Children

Narcissism & Entitlement in Today’s Children

Victoria Prooday, OT finds today’s kids come to school emotionally unavailable for learning. There are many factors in our modern lifestyle that contribute to this. She writes: I am an occupational therapist with years of experience working with children, parents, and teachers. I completely agree with this teacher’s message that our children are getting worse and worse in many aspects. I hear the same consistent message from every teacher I meet. Clearly, throughout my time as an … [Read more...] about Narcissism & Entitlement in Today’s Children

Christmas: Does It Matter?

In a popular 1965 Broadway musical set in tsarist Russia, the main character insisted that tradition provided balance in the villagers’ lives and that, without traditions, their lives would be “as shaky as a fiddler on the roof.” Traditions are indeed comfortable and somehow reassuring. If we leave the security of the customs we have grown up with, we feel shaken and a bit unstable, as Tevye so eloquently said. Tradition plays a powerful role in the customs that various cultures embrace. … [Read more...] about Christmas: Does It Matter?

New Year’s Day

In just a few days, the world will celebrate New Years Day. Billions of people will participate either by watching through mass media or physically joining in the festivities. To the masses, this practice is secular, enjoyable, and serves as a time to bring the world together. On the surface, this may appear to be true, however, we only need to do a small amount of research to quickly find this is not the case. In 45 B.C., Julius Caesar reformed the calendar, now known as the Julian Calendar, … [Read more...] about New Year’s Day

What Filtration System are We Using?

I was recently given the opportunity to visit some data centers which house computer equipment capable of generating a lot of information. These newest generation of data centers will house AI, artificial intelligence. Server based computer equipment is pretty smart. The amount of information that they will generate dwarfs today's traditional data centers by leaps and bounds, and companies are looking to be a part of this rather large trend that's developing around the world. It's really … [Read more...] about What Filtration System are We Using?
