prizes were won. I could not believe however, the uncivilized behavior of some young people attending this picnic compound. I was aghast to view a few male youths standing next to the swimming pool, with genitals exposed and urinating into the pool.
Wanting to become more involved with daughter, her classmates, and the school she attended, I volunteered to be a class mother and a Daisy Girl Scout co-leader. Meetings were regularly held in the school cafeteria during after school hours, where a troop of about fifteen girls worked on craft projects. I suggested to the parent’s of the girls that excursions into the outdoors be planned, that would benefit the girls. An apple picking excursion, a day fishing outing, and a hike were offered for parental consideration. These suggestions were declined by most parents due to fears of Lymes disease. By the time our daughter entered the first grade, another troop was organized based on what seemed to be religious designations. There was basically a Christian Girl Scout troop and a Jewish Girl Scout troop. I decided to quit co-leading at this time.
This year I had access to a video camera. Initially pleased with access to this equipment, I quickly realized that I was missing important events by looking through a lens. Somehow recording and then viewing the recorded event, was not as relevant and fulfilling as actually viewing the event.
Retrospective: Spouse and I considered the decisions regarding father in laws illness to be extremely difficult requiring much ethical discussion between spouse and I. A stronger religious affiliation may have assisted us at that time. I do believe however that God aided us in making the right decision for father in law regarding his illness. Reading informative books and watching less television can assist one in maintaining a higher level of intelligence during the times of life that are less intellectually stimulating. Sometimes divisions of groups within the society serve the purposes of evil. Provide unpaid volunteers with a schedule to eliminate the appearance of an over abundance of volunteers. Wax figures and cardboard renditions of people are occult inspired “contributions” to society. It is best to avoid contact with these types of art forms. Sometimes simple memorials deliver a more effective message to the public than the larger, grand memorials. It appears as though evil forces are gaining an increasingly destructive influence over some of the youth.
