Hi guys, I've been looking for good educational websites online for a week now and didn't find anything good. My sister is busy working and her daughter Stacy gets homeschooled, and I help her out in the studies often. But I just finished college and am about to start working... so we are looking for a good online christian website if there is any. It doesn't have to be christian, I mean Stacy has got a lot of good morals and loves God so much. We believe our influence is more than enough. I did find a cool website that is coming out that I liked: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/project-pro... http://igg.me/p/589770 but nothing other than that and the previous site opens in 2 months. Can anyone tell me of a good website that gets kids really into studying? Anything that already exists that's of good quality? Thank you all, and please post me a link of the site you find. Sara

When you say signs, do you mean like signs that god is directly talking to us or sending us information on what to do?

Maybe it's a test of faith. The one in the ear has existed since the snake corrupted Adam and Eves minds. Every human in the world has this temptation. If this temptation is there then there must be a reason why god put it there, either being a test of faith or it actually has some practical value that can benefit peoples lives in the long run . What do you guys think? Sara

I believe you are correct and this is why: The US is governed by a group of select people, who had to work really hard at winning the Elections, being it either governers, presidents, etc. The problem is that usually these people are part of a party (democratic, republican, etc). The problem with this system is that when you join a party, the whole party expects you to support it. When I say support it, I mean if one republican says he wants to pass this bill, you actually have to vote for it to pass even if you dislike it. I mean you dont have to do it, but the chances of you being reelected are a bit harder, and usually when you get in your party in the beginning, this is one of the things your expected of. The other problem is the private interest groups. Who funds campaigns? Private companies like petrol/gas companys, and asfalt companies. A good example is how in many countries (US included) there are still roads build in asfalt, even though they are much less durable than concrete roads. Also, even though the initial cost of asfalt is lower, the maintanance of asfalt roads is much much muchhhh higher, costing the government a lot more money in the long run. So anywhere where you see asfalt roads, it was a bad decision because it will be a worse quality road and it will cost a lot more altogether. But that decision is often made because Governments make ROADS, and companies help elected officials get elected with the condition that they contract asfalt companies to build their roads.... I got a bit carried away haha, but the point is that the people we trust our country to have the function of looking for the best possible outcome for all of us under Gods eyes. The decisions they make are not in the countries best interest but rather in the web of conditions they agreed to take just so that they get into office. Hope you guys like my post , Sara
