While you might not think so at the time, as you get older there will be things you and your grandchildren will want to know. Most of us don't realise it until the older generations are gone and you can't replace first hand comments. Don't just put in about the good times, add in the harder times and how you overcame those trials. Another thing to remember is what caused the deaths of those you loved. There are many things that have been found to continue into future generations that knowing it runs in the family can be helped with now or possible in the future. prevention starts with knowing where to start. I wish someone had taken the time to write these things down for mew to be able to go back to. My Grandmother and my mother told us many stories of what things happened in their lives and about the people in their lives. I now wish someone had written those things down since both have passed now. But I never thought at that busy point in my life that I would one day want to remember all those things. So much family history is lost when the older generations are gone. Please pass it on to your family while you can. You can even just do it digitally so it can be accessed by family later on.Family pictures are something to cherish also. Just be sure to write down who is pictured in them, where they are taken and when. I have found family pictures that no one now even knows who is in them.<br /><br />AKHERETEMPLE@gmail.com <br />or<br />call/whatsapp:+2349057261346<br />josephinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08241289844749029022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29128991.post-16241411895121715462010-12-29T11:12:04.740-08:002010-12-29T11:12:04.740-08:00Mystical, I would think the different boats are th...Mystical, I would think the different boats are the different response both America and Europe had to the Enlightenment. Our nation might have been founded on, in part, religious freedom, but it was a matter of what one believed, belief meaning a stated set of doctrines. <br /><br />Over the years it seems Europe has rejected both that aspect of believing as well as the loyalty/trust aspect of believing, as in faithfulness to God/trust in God. Yet it seems that Europe, on the whole, does a much better job at equality and care for all.Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16189485834914559162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29128991.post-40962614581659419402010-12-28T19:25:17.979-08:002010-12-28T19:25:17.979-08:00Australia is the same as Denmark.

I think it has a lot to do with the 'intellectual' media who tend to portray anyone with religious belief as some sort of moron who believes in fairy tales. Anyone admitting religious belief in Australia in a public sphere is usually subject to some sort of cynical response or ridicule from some quarter. Maybe its a symptom of Dawkins & co as the aggressive atheists reduce tolerance and respect.<br />I think many Australians also see religion as the cause of destruction, wars and conflict and belief somehow aligns you with the extremists who destroy life.<br />On the other hand up until this year we've had politicians who seek out the 'Christian' vote and who openly profess religious belief. The Christian vote might be worth 1-2% swing - which can be enough to get you into power.<br />Then again - we now have our first atheist prime minister. <br /><br />Surely though for the USA its all tied up in the constitution and history. Isnt there a underlying belief that God blesses America ? Implying that is how the USA became the superpower of the world ?Whitefellahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03035831775582969960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29128991.post-33783408360147447142010-12-28T08:25:43.226-08:002010-12-28T08:25:43.226-08:00Cynthia, I think you are right, but it seems like ...Cynthia, I think you are right, but it seems like Danes and Americans somehow ended up on different boats.
