"Growing up is hard & you’ll be hEaRing me siNg all tHe wAy"

Mamma, why do you dance

To the same old songs

Why do you sing

Only the harmony

She said

In my heart theres a young girl’s passion

For a life long duet

Someday soon

Someone’s smile will haunt you

So sing your own song and never forget

N’oubliez jamais
I heard my father say

Every generation has its way

A need to disobey

What is this game

Searching for love or fame, it’s all the same

One of these days you say that love will be the cure

I’m not sure
…

…and you know in your mind that you are my living proof to that sadly. =(

I searched childcraft and found it on google got me all excited. I love their books! I’m 23 now, my dad got most the said company’s sets. Contributed to the best ages of my life!! Had them somewhere between 1992-1998 now they are old but man still go over them love reading it! I plan to reorder most of the sets. But not sure how updated their site is. Emailed them to get back to me gotta know if it’s possible and how much it’s gonna cost me i ain’t so rich but i’d so do anything to have the complete collection and some new ones of theirs too! These are definitely MUST HAVES and INVALUABLES even awesome GIFTS to give to families and friends single or not. In fact, ours is so old, torn with bits missing that i vow to reorder them ALL myself next year! (They ain’t at all cheap considering they got to be imported and stuff but man are they worth-it)

World  Book Encyclopedia Encyclopedia of Science The Encyclopedia of Science  penetrates the mystery of life and our solar system through an exploration  of the basic principles of science. Designed to stimulate an interest  in science, this set is topically arranged in 8 volumes with over 2,000 illustrations on more than 1,000 pages. It includes Astronomy, Physics, Chemistry, The Planet Earth, The Plant World, The Animal World, The  Human Body, and Men and Women of Science.

“WHAT is the matter with him? He should know better,”
remarks an observer. Shaking his head in disbelief, another walks away
muttering, “If he had a little common sense, he would never have done
that.” Have you perhaps heard similar comments? What, though, is
“common sense”?

The word “sense” is defined as “accurate appreciation,”
“understanding,” and “practical wisdom or judgement.” It implies that a
person has the ability to judge and decide with intelligence. Common
sense evidently requires that we use thinking ability. Many people
would rather let others do their thinking for them. They allow the
media, their peers, or popular opinion to make decisions for them.

Common sense seems to be so lacking in today’s world that an
observant man once noted, ‘Common sense, in truth, is very uncommon.’
How can we acquire common sense? What are its benefits?

How Acquired?

While it takes time, sustained thought, and consistent effort to
develop good sense and fine judgment, common sense is certainly
attainable. Consider three factors that can help us to acquire common
sense.

Study the unique book that reveals things that we could never find out otherwise. A book that tells us about the creation of the starry heavens, the earth, and the first man and woman, contains reliable principles to help us cope with life’s problems and anxieties and follow its advice. With its clear logic, it becomes an excellent aid in gaining wisdom and good sense.
For example, the apostle Paul admonishes fellow Christians: “Whatever
things are true, whatever things are of serious concern, whatever
things are righteous, whatever things are chaste, whatever things are
lovable, whatever things are well spoken of, whatever virtue there is
and whatever praiseworthy thing there is, continue considering these
things.” -philippians 4:8  If we consistently follow this advice, sound judgment and sensible behavior will result.

Learn from experience. Associating common sense with
experience in life, a Swiss poet stated: “Common sense is . . .
composed of experience and prevision [foresight].” Indeed, “anyone
inexperienced puts faith in every word, but the shrewd one considers
his steps.” -Proverbs 14:15.
Common sense may be developed through observation, training, and
experience. We can learn to do things better over a period of time.
Learning from our mistakes, however, calls for humility and meekness.
The self-assuming, haughty, and headstrong spirit of people in these
last days is not a manifestation of common sense.

"But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. 2
       For
men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, self-assuming,
haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, 3
       having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, 4
       betrayers, headstrong, puffed up [with pride], lovers of pleasures… and from these turn away.—2 Timothy 3:1-5

Choose associates wisely. In using wisdom and common sense, we are also helped or hindered by our associates. Proverbs 13:20
states: “He that is walking with wise persons will become wise, but he
that is having dealings with the stupid ones will fare badly.” We do
not have to accept the mentality or ideas of those who disobey God and
ignore his Word. Proverbs 17:12
puts the matter this way: “Let there be an encountering by a man of a
bear bereaved of its cubs rather than anyone stupid in his foolishness.”

Of What Benefit?

Developing common sense is advantageous. It makes life more
interesting and can save us time. Common sense may even reduce the
frustration that often comes from doing things thoughtlessly. Those
lacking good judgment make life harder for themselves. “The hard work
of the stupid ones makes them weary,” states the ecclesiastes 10:15 Such individuals may toil endlessly and tire themselves out; yet, they accomplish virtually nothing truly worthwhile.

The Bible provides a wealth of practical advice on cleanliness,
communication, industriousness, coping with poverty, and many other
aspects of life. Millions can testify that the difference between
success and failure in their lives has depended on the degree to which
they have applied Bible principles, helping them to manifest wisdom.

Common sense enables us to do more than simply follow a set of
detailed instructions or rules. It helps us to fulfill our
responsibilities. However, common sense is not a substitute for taking
in knowledge. “A wise person will listen and take in more instruction,”
says proverbs 1:5
We must also learn to analyze the information we gather, drawing proper
conclusions from it. This helps us to ‘walk in wisdom.’—

"He that is trusting in his own heart is stupid, but he that is walking in wisdom is the one that will escape- proverbs 28:26

Modesty goes hand in hand with common sense. Although
we may want to care for many responsibilities, we need to use good
judgment and stay within the limits of our strength. True, the apostle
Paul tells us to have “plenty to do in the work of the Lord.” 1 corinthians 15:58 Yet, this admonition must be balanced with the principle recorded at ecclesiastes 9:4
“A live dog is better off than a dead lion.” Taking proper care of our
health may allow us to live longer and to continue
to be active. Common sense can help us to find a reasonable balance
that permits us to get necessary things accomplished without losing our
joy. Yes, common sense brings many benefits.
