Why does my toddler scream?

Why does my toddler scream?
Believe it or not, your toddler’s volume isn’t turned up high to annoy you, but because she’s full of energy. She’s exploring the power of her voice, and experimenting with what she can do with it.

And why does she always let rip when you’re at the supermarket or the museum? It’s because there’s a lovely echoing effect when you scream in big open spaces!

Some toddlers scream whenever they want their parents’ attention. It’s their way of saying, “Hey, look at me!” Others scream when they want something they can’t have, such as a biscuit or a friend’s toy. In that case, the shrieking means, “I want my way. Give it to me now!”

Should we use In-vitro fertilisation?

Leave a comment

Some Christian couples wait for years to fall pregnant, yet they suffer when they do not get that positive test signal on a pregnancy test. This challenges their faith and their Christian journey and many of these couples consider in-vitro-fertilization as a God-given technique.

Let us take a closer look at what In-vitro-fertilization is and what the Bible has to say about it:

What is in-vitro-fertilization? In-vitro fertilisation is the process of joining a sperm and egg together outside a woman’s body, then placing the fertilised egg, or zygote, in the woman’s body so that she can fall pregnant. The problem is that the doctor does not fertilise one egg, but many eggs are fertilised. These eggs are grown and stimulated through hormone therapy. This great article from the Ministry Magazine will educate you on how the process works, what the Bible says, how the health of the woman is affected, and why it is a negative process that should be avoided.

I wish for you that your dream of starting a family will become a reality, whether with biological children or through adoption. May God guide you and carry you through this challenging time.

P.S. A great help for you if you are struggling to fall pregnant, is this product; it increases your chance of naturally falling pregnant up to 80% and for adoption you will find great information at this Christian organisation’s page.

Know your child and trust in what you know. Thomas Edison’s story…

Leave a comment

Take some time to read this story of Thomas Edison and his mother…


One day Thomas Edison came home and gave a paper to his mother. He told her, “My teacher gave this paper to me and told me to only give it to my mother.” His mother’s eyes were tearful as she read the letter out loud to her child: Your son is a genius. This school is too small for him and doesn’t have enough good teachers for training him. Please teach him yourself.


After many, many years, after Edison’s mother died and he was now one of the greatest inventors of the century, one day he was looking through old family things. Suddenly he saw a folded paper in the corner of a drawer in a desk. He took it and opened it up. On the paper was written: Your son is addled [mentally ill]. We won’t let him come to school anymore.


Edison cried for hours and then he wrote in his diary: “Thomas Alva Edison was an addled child that, by a hero mother, became the genius of the century.”

Good and evil: The Bible graphic novel

Leave a comment

The critically-acclaimed Good and Evil (2012 Telly Award Winner, Independent Publishers 2008 Bronze Medal Winner in Graphic Novel / Drama category and 2008 Forward Book Award Finalist) truly is “the ultimate superhero” graphic novel. It is making a huge impact worldwide. It is now being translated and distributed in dozens of languages, both in print and online, with dozens of more translations in progress. Catch the vision to “publish the gospel among all nations” and be part of this incredible phenomenon. The Good and Evil project has one goal: To spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Good and Evil gives the listener, viewer, and reader an understanding of the Bible from beginning to end, Genesis to Revelation. Good and Evil is a bold missionary. It can squeeze its way into closed countries where missionaries are not allowed. The fantastic art, done in the popular style of Marvel Comics, makes it popular where other gospel literature would be rejected or destroyed. The purchase of the Animated Video Series directly supports the full Good and Evil vision. These little missionary books and videos will keep telling the message over and over again as they lie around waiting for someone else to pick them up. In many cases a single copy will be read or viewed by as many as 100 people. Jesus said, “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature”.
