Depend

INDEPENDENCE ?
Psalms 103:13 Like as a
father pitieth his children,
so the Lord pitieth them
that fear him.

It was my turn to watch
the grand baby today.
I had forgotten how
helpless a ten
month old is.

PITY is the best word to
describe my attitude although
there were some pretty
self-destructive things that
he tried to do. (Pulling heavy
stuff off the table, eating dirty
stuff off the ground).

I don't think he knows the
meaning of the word DEPENDENT.

As far as earthly fathers are concerned we often forget that
we are 100% DEPENDENT.

"For he knoweth our frame;
he remembereth that
we are dust."

The recent passing of the
popular entertainer "Prince"
and the controversy surrounding
his death remind me of these
6 words at the end of first John :

"Little children, keep
yourselves from idols."


THE PRACTICE OF
DAILY CONSTANT
PRAYER KEEPS
US IN THE PLACE OF
TOTAL DEPENDENCE
ON OUR
HEAVENLY
FATHER.


1 Thessalonians 5:17
Pray without ceasing.

Journalist Michael Kinsley — the founder of Slate and former editor of Harper's and The New Republic — says he's a "scout for his generation." Kinsley was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease when he was in his 40s. Now in his 60s, he writes that he had the opportunity to experience old age before the rest of his fellow baby boomers.

"There are far worse medical conditions than Parkinson's, and there are far worse cases of Parkinson's than mine," he writes, "But what I have, at the level I have it, is an interesting foretaste of our shared future.

Understanding the natural history of a disease or disorder provides information critical for assessment and intervention, and for the development of effective prevention strategies.

Alcohol use disorders represent a broad continuum, ranging from periodic problematic overuse to chronic, progressive alcohol dependence.

Clinicians categorize individuals based on standardized criteria (i.e., abuse vs. dependence). Alcohol use disorders in the general population and different clinical settings range in frequency, severity, and symptoms.

Developing an awareness of the natural history of alcohol use disorders helps social workers to identify persons at risk, why they are at risk, what might be done to alleviate risk, and what treatment strategies prove to be most effective.

Alcoholism is a complex disorder with many pathways leading to its development.

Genetic and other biological factors are likely involved in the emergence of alcohol dependence, along with cognitive, behavioral, temperament, psychological, and sociocultural factors.

Alcohol use patterns, including alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence, are 'familial' in nature.

Alcohol use and the presence of alcoholism are often found within the same family, running from parent to child and across multiple generations of biologically related individuals.

While genetic and other biological factors cannot fully explain the presence or absence of alcohol use disorders, their contribution to susceptibility for developing alcohol use problems appears to be significant.

Rationale

Father-child relationships – be they positive, negative or lacking, at any stage in the life of the child, and in all cultural and ethnic communities – have profound and wide-ranging impacts on children that last a lifetime.

Parents as protectors

Parents as providers

Parents as models

Parents as mentors

attached find fable of the bees

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Fable of The Bees: or, Private Vices, Public Benefits is a book by Bernard Mandeville, consisting of the poem, The Grumbling Hive: or, Knaves turn'd Honest, along with prose discussion of the poem. The poem was published in 1705, and the book first appeared in 1714.^[1] The poem suggests many key principles of economic thought, including division of labor and the "invisible hand", seventy years before these concepts were more thoroughly elucidated by Adam Smith.^[2] Two centuries later, the noted economist John Maynard Keynes cited Mandeville to show that it was "no new thing ... to ascribe the evils of unemployment to ... the insufficiency of the propensity to consume",^[3] a condition also known as the paradox of thrift, which was central to his own theory of effective demand.

At the time, however, it was considered scandalous. Keynes noted that it was "convicted as a nuisance by the grand jury of Middlesex in 1723, which stands out in the history of the moral sciences for its scandalous reputation. Only one man is recorded as having spoken a good word for it, namely Dr. Johnson, who declared that it did not puzzle him, but 'opened his eyes into real life very much'."^[4]

It was also reported that:

Mandeville gave great offense by this book, in which a cynical system of morality was made attractive by ingenious paradoxes. ... His doctrine that prosperity was increased by expenditure rather than by saving fell in with many current economic fallacies not yet extinct.^[5] Assuming with the ascetics that human desires were essentially evil and therefore produced "private vices" and assuming with the common view that wealth was a "public benefit", he easily showed that all civilization implied the development of vicious propensities....
