The American Way of Disciplining Children

Lawrence Lilliston created a  Religion and Modern Life blog that explores how religion can deepen insight into modern life (culture, behavior, happiness, unhappiness, e.g.) She recently posted about spanking.

"Americans are very big on spanking - bigger than any advanced Western nation, by far. Somewhere between 80% and 90% of Americans endorse spanking as an appropriate method of discipline. No other country comes close to that. In fact, in several countries, spanking children is illegal."

Angie Bellos' blog aims to help you to break through what's holding you back so you can live life on your terms and be Fearless and Free. She recently posted  on how to win the battle against time.

"It’s not for sale and not available in stores or on line.  It moves in only one direction to a constant beat of its own drum.  It’s invisible yet it connects every single being in the entire universe."
