Recalled Toys

2010-04-08T06:39:00.000-07:00

Health Canada recalled two products Thursday deemed dangerous to children and a third aerosol product that is not properly labelled.
The first product, Allreds Design Baby Bracelets and Pacifier Clips from Allreds Design, of Fort Duchesne, Utah, were found to have high lead levels in the clasps.
The bracelets are sold in various sizes, ranging from 0 to 6 months, 1 to 4 years, and 4 to 8 years of age. The baby bracelets and pacifier clips have crystal and plastic beads in various colours with a metal clasp. About 300 bracelets and 50 clips were sold from June 2008 to February 2010.
There has been one report of a 10-month-old child in the United States with elevated lead levels.
The second product, Foam Animal Puzzle by Daouco Canada, contains small parts that pose a choking hazard, Health Canada said.
It was imported by Daouco Canada Ltd. of Laval, Que., but it is not known how many of the lady bug or a spider puzzle sets were sold.
The third product is Seymour Custom Solvent Blend and Water Blend Aerosol Products, which Health Canada said do not meet mandatory warning labelling requirements under Canadian law.
This lack of labelling information, including the hazard symbol for pressurized containers, may lead to serious injury. No injuries have been reported.
In the case of the Allreds bracelets and clips and in the aerosol products, customers are asked to stop using the recalled product and contact the companies for replacement clasps or a refund.
Parents are asked to take the foam puzzle away from their children and dispose of them. The company is no longer in business.

Snowflakes, miracles and the new year

Did you know that every snowflake is different? Think of all the piles of snow you've ever seen, and imagine the miracle of each unique, individual flake. Our lives are like that... every day is different, filled with special, one-of-a-kind moments that cannot be repeated. Our children are different... each a unique creation with a purpose all their own. Today, as the new year begins, take a moment to ponder the miracle of your family and give thanks for the unique gifts they each have been given. Think about how you can nurture and encourage those gifts in the year to come.

Then, take a look at this video. In 1885, at the age of 19, a young man named Wilson Bentley became the first person to photograph snowflakes. He used his unique gifts and talents to share a miracle with the world. What might your child achieve someday? To help remind your children of their own unique gifts, talents and strengths, here's a fun family project.

New Years Resolution Ideas for Christian Teens

2009-12-29T19:26:00.000-08:00

I'll be talking about this on Thursdays show. Great ideas for not only teenagers, but any Christian that wants to make some positive changes in 2010.

http://christianteens.about.com/od/christianholidays/tp/NewYearResolutions.htm

Improve Your Prayer Life
Simple enough, right? Just get better at praying. It's not that easy. A lot of Christian teens make this resolution and soon fail, because they take too big a step at first. If you're not used to praying often, jumping into an active prayer life can be a daunting task. Maybe start off praying each morning when you get up, or even while you brush your teeth. Start off giving five minutes to God. Then maybe try adding another five minutes. Soon you'll find that you'll start going to God more often and for more things. Don't worry about what to talk to Him about, just talk. You'll be amazed by the results.

Read Your Bible in a Year
Getting into the habit of reading the Word is also a common New Year's resolution for many Christian teens. There are plenty of Bible reading plans out there that guide you through reading your Bible in a year. It just takes discipline to open up the book every night. You may not even want to read the entire Bible, but rather use a year to focus on a specific topic or area of your life that you want God to help you improve. Find a reading plan that works for you.

Help Other People
God calls on us throughout the Bible to do good works. Whether you adhere to the idea that you need good works to get to heaven, like Catholics do, or not, like most Protestants, helping others is still a part of a Christian walk. Most churches have outreach activities or you can even find local volunteer opportunities through your school. There are so many people who just need a bit of assistance, and helping others is a great way to set a Christian example.

Get Involved in Church
Most churches have youth groups or Bible studies geared toward Christian teens. If not, why not be the one to get a group together? Start your own Bible study or put together an activity that some of the other Christian teens at church can enjoy. A lot of youth groups meet one day a week, and those meetings are a great way to meet new people who believe and can help you grow in your walk.

Become a Better Steward
One of the most challenging issues for Christian teens is the idea of stewardship, which is the process of tithing. Most Christian teens don't make a lot of money, so it becomes harder to give. Typical teen activities like shopping and eating out make it difficult to have money left over. However, God calls on all Christians to be good stewards. In fact, money is mentioned far more often in the Bible than other topics like getting along with your parents or sex.

Use a Devotional
Reading your Bible is an essential part of anyone's Christian walk, because it keeps your head in God's Word. Still, using a devotional helps you take the concepts in the Bible and apply them to your everyday life. There are numerous devotionals available for Christian Teens, so you should be able to find one that fits your personality, interests, or your place in your spiritual growth.

Plant Some Seeds of Faith
How many times have you evangelized to friends or family. Make it your goal this year to talk to a certain number of people about your faith. While it would be great if someone converted or "got saved" through your discussions, don't get too caught up on that number. You'd be amazed how many people will end up believers from a discussion you have about what God has done in your life. It just may not happen while you know them. Also, use platforms like your Facebook or MySpace profiles to demonstrate your beliefs. Plant many seeds of faith and let them grow.

Get to Know Mom and Dad Better
One of the most difficult relationships in a Christian teens' life is with his or her parents. You're at a time in your life when you are entering adulthood and want to start making your own decisions, but you will always be your parents' child. Your different viewpoints make for some interesting conflict. Yet, God dictates that we honor our parents, so take some time to get to know Mom and Dad a little better. Do things with them. Share bits of your life with them. Even a small amount of quality time with your parents will go a long way in helping your relationship.

Go On a Mission
Not all mission trips are to exotic places, but almost all mission trips will change you forever. Between the spiritual preparation before you leave on your trip to the work you will do on the trip itself, God works through you and for you as you see people eager to hear about Christ and as you hear their appreciation for the things you are doing on your trip. There are mission trips like War Week that takes place in Detroit to Campus Crusade for Christ Student Venture that conducts trips around the world.

Bring Someone to Church
A simple idea, but it takes a lot of courage to ask a friend to come to church. Faith is something most Christian teens have difficulty discussing with non-Christian friends, because it is often something very personal. Yet, many Christians would never have come to Christ without that one friend who asked them to come to church or talk about their beliefs. For every person who might shoot you down, there are two or three other people who will be curious about why your faith is so important to you. Taking them to your youth group services or activities can help show them why.
