Review of "Fergus, the Soccer Playing Colt"

Fergus, a palomino colt at Simpson Farms, displays unusual talents. Besides twirling in the air and executing daring back flips, Fergus loves to play soccer. Bobby Simpson and his friend, Ramon, set up a goal in the pasture and let Fergus guard it while they practice penalty kicks and heading the ball. The agile colt blocks all their shots. He flicks the ball off his nose or whirls around and kicks it with his back feet.

Soon the local news, then CNN and other networks feature the golden goalkeeper. People flock to the farm to watch Fergus play with the boys. All the publicity boosts the popularity of soccer in the United States, drawing the attention of Ian Connor from the International Soccer Federation. He asks to borrow Fergus and the boys for a fourteen-city tour promoting the colt and the sport of soccer. The boys parents agree and the tour launches successfully with Fergus enjoying the matches and playing flawlessly. All goes well until the colt is horse-napped partway through the tour by three bad guys who scheme to turn him into a bucking rodeo champ. The rest of the story relates Ferguss struggles and his return to Simpson Farms.

Petersons book should entice young (8- to 12-year-old) boys to read. He offers adventure, sports, and humor. His bad guys provide comic relief and still have a conscience. In an era when few books cater to the young male reader, Fergus is a welcome addition. Young girls can enjoy the story of this endearing colt, too.

Chelsea Run Away with the English Premiership Football Title

The seemingly invincible Chelsea FC look set to record their second consecutive Premiership soccer title after a convincing 2-0 defeat of Liverpool FC.

Now 15 points clear at the top of the Premier League, Chelsea barring catastrophe will be champions again. This is in no small way due to their enigmatic manager Jose Mourinho. The Portuguese master tactician has instilled a belief of invincibility in his team that is rarely seen.

Many fans of English football may point to the fact that Mourinho has spent vast amounts of his Chairman's money to attain this position, but that is not the reason for Chelsea's success. The credit must go to Mourinho, the man they call "The Special One". He continues to make the correct selections, and more importantly, his interventions from the sidelines are rarely innefective. He is the consummate professional.

Chelsea seem set to embark on a domination of the English game, and as long as Mourinho is in charge, they will continue to set the benchmark. Whether they can go on to dominate the European tournaments in the same way is a question soon to be answered, they certainly have the talent and the right man at the helm, but Europe is difficult to conquer.

The forthcoming Champions league games are awaited with baited breath...

Lessons for Life Pornography

Purpose: Our bodies are the temples of our spirits. We are co-creators with God. Modesty is a virtue. The domination of others, and the enticement of them into unsavory acts, degrades the human race and casts the participants into disgrace and jeopardy.

The Lesson:

Parents, there is only one thing you can do to protect your children and yourselves from pornography. That is to avoid it.

More money is generated by porn than most honest commercial endeavors on the Internet. A description of these activities only leads to curiosity.

Some of the operators of commercial porn businesses are crude, evil, and ruthless. One operator said in a television interview that he didn't care about the people that work in his business. He said he didn't care about their drug addictions, their degradation, nor their welfare. He once cared, he said, but the participants, in his opinion, are just low-lifes that come and go.

Control Your Computer

The computer is the easy way to find porn. It can pop up at most any time. Your child makes a search for a school report and up come the porn sites. One click and he or she is there.Your child (or you) receives an e-mail and it immediately zaps to a porn site. One porn site can pop up fifty other porn sites.

What to do about your computer.

Their are security options on your computer. First, erase the history in your browser. Then use the security functions that your browser provides. Use the Help Menu to learn how to set security for your system(s). Make sure you password protect the security options.

If you can't seem to do this, find a friend that knows the ropes of computers. At last resort, call a computer professional or visit a computer store and have the clerk show you how to secure your computer.

What to do about your television.

You can protect your children and yourself by not subscribing to cable channels that broadcast X- or R-rated movies or pornographic movies and programs. If you can still see these channels even though you are not a subscriber, have the cable company put the proper filters in their system to block the offending channels out. Don't pay for this service. It is their problem not yours. One of my sons has a device that bleeps out all crude dialogue from his television, CDs, and VCR tapes.

What to do about movies.

Make sure your local movie companies are not allowing minors to enter the theater to watch R- and X- rated movies. It is the theater's management's job to see that your child doesn't buy a ticket for Bambi and then slip into the theater that is showing "Tootoo Comes of Age."

What to do about pornographic books and magazines being sold at your supermarket.

Take a look at what's on the shelves and magazine racks at your supermarket. If their are offensive materials, tell the manager that you don't like it and that, if they are not removed, you are not only not going to patronize the store, you are going to raise a great stink about it in the community by writing to the newspapers and calling in on talk shows and talking to schools, friends, and neighbors.

A lesson from the Knights of Columbus

A friend of mine was a member of that group. He told me that in Denver, the Knights decided they had enough of grocery stores selling pornographic magazines and displaying them to the children and the rest of their customers.

They thought up a great little scheme.

They each went to a grocery stores and each Knight filled his cart to overloading with several hundred dollars worth of groceries. Then he proceeded to check out.

At the checkout stand where the magazines were exhibited, he picked up a magazine and asked for the manager. When the manager arrived, the Knight said, Why do you sell pornographic magazines, and in addition, display them for children to see?

The Knight didn't wait for an answer. He walked out of the store--leaving the filled cart for the store employees to unload back to the shelves. It wasn't long before the store managers got the word. The magazines were out!

Porn is profitable. When you support it, you are demoralizing not only yourself but other human beings.

According to members of the porn industries, most all workers in the industry are addicted to drugs and alcohol, suffer from venereal disease, from time to time, or AIDS. Their careers are short and not fulfilling. The next step from porn is prostitution. Do you really want to support such endeavors? Of course not.

Remember that the Bible says that "...you are the temple of God:" See: 1Cor:3:16: "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?"

Also: 1Cor:3:17: "If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are."

And, 2Cor:6:16: "And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people."

For The Little Children

There is no children's story with this lesson. I didn't know how to cover the subject. I suggest that you teach your children to be modest in dress and actions. Teach them to keep their minds and bodies clean and pure. Be a good example to them at all times. Keep your eye on your children.
