Tending the Garden—The prevailing influence in the world is to suffer the youth to follow the natural turn of their own minds. And if very wild in youth, parents say they will come right after a while and, when sixteen or eighteen years of age, will reason for themselves and leave off their wrong habits and become at last useful men and women. What a mistake! For years they permit an enemy to sow the garden of the heart; they suffer wrong principles to grow, and in many cases all the labor afterward bestowed on that soil will avail nothing….

Some parents have suffered their children to form wrong habits, the marks of which may be seen all through life. Upon the parents lies this sin. These children may profess to be Christians; yet without a special work of grace upon the heart and a thorough reform in life, their past habits will be seen in all their experience, and they will exhibit just the character which their parents allowed them to form.

The young should not be suffered to learn good and evil indiscriminately, with the idea that at some future time the good will predominate and the evil lose its influence. The evil will increase faster than the good. It is possible that after many years the evil they have learned may be eradicated; but who will venture this? Time is short. It is easier and much safer to sow clean, good seed in the hearts of your children than to pluck up the weeds afterward. Impressions made upon the minds of the young are hard to efface. How important, then, that these impressions be of the right sort, that the elastic faculties of youth be bent in the right direction.

Squarespace – Build Your Own Site; Disqus – Comment Engine; Onswipe – Optimise It For Tablets January 3, 2012

If you want to build your own site, make it look professional with customisable templates on the fly, and are willing to pay a small price, Squarespace is for you. Gone are the days of raw HTML coding in a text editor. You don’t have to fiddle with a Drupal, Joomla or Mambo CMS. Squarespace has widgets allowing you to integrate with Flickr and Twitter. You can add a forum with their pre-build modules.

And while you’re at it. Why not use Disqus to allow people to interact on your website. It’s realtime and integrates with Facebook Connect.

Onswipe will convert it into a layout that is optimised for tablets such as the iPad.
