How do you not go into rescue mode when you read stories of kids if foster care?
Q. Everytime I read about kids spending their entire childhood in foster care, I find it hard to not go into resuce mode.
I want so bad to do something, but there is no way I could handle another child rght now. I only have a 3 bedroom house and work full time.
What can I do to help these kids currently in foster care? Without being a foster parent?

What can I do to help these kids currently in foster care? Without being a foster parent?
A. I was a foster kid from age 7 until I aged out of the system at 18.
Here are some suggestions for what you can do:
1) Buy some luggage and backpacks and donate them to a group home or CPS. Kids in foster care usually carry their stuff around in bags or old suitcases. I never had a backpack for school stuff.
2) Donate things like toothbrushes, razors, shampoo, and other tioletries to group homes or CPS. These are things that foster parents need all the time.
3) When christmas comes, PLEASE donate some "fun" gifts, like toys and games and balls. All the gifts on the "Angel Tree" are usually things kids need like coats and PJs. Kids need fun things too.
4) Become a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) for a foster child. It requires you meeting with the kid once a week and forming a relationship with the child. BUT IT ALSO is your job to speak for the child and what it is in the best interest of the child. For example, you might recommend that the child get therapy if you discover the child is depressed. You would goto the judge and report this.
6) Donate books for kids of all levels. Kids in foster care are usually behind in schooling. Having boxes of books in group homes let the kids pick books that they feel comfortable trying to read.
There are lots of things people can do, which can really help.
Thanks for asking.

Some easy ways to know if theres a spirit in your house?
Q. Quite often i feel like someone is watching me, and feel tugs on my shirt or hair from behind. Or, for example, a rush of cold wind comes into my bedroom when the window and door are closed. Also, a few nights ago, i woke up with a light in my bedroom like my nightlight but i had unplugged it from the wall. And sometimes things get moved around while im out. And any ways to know if its malevolent or benevolent?
A. Sure there are!
(1). Does this place create an overall atmosphere of fear? Do you feel uneasy or like you are being watched? What time of the day or night? (3A.M. is a favorite time for evil activity � since it is directly opposite the 3 P.M. death of Jesus) Does this happen cyclically or in an established pattern, including in seasons or times of the month or year?
(2). Do children and/or pets get easily scared here? Are there pets that bark or hiss at seemingly nothing or act in a strange way? For instance, staring off into space at something, or appearing frightened for no apparent reason?
(3). Is it adversely affecting your physical health? Is it a place of physical harm such as bruising, scratches, pressure headaches? Does this interfere with daily life or ability to mentally/emotionally function well? Do you have strange dreams, thoughts that aren't your own or are out of the norm for you, thoughts of anger, fear, harming yourself or others? Does this interfere with your ability to work?
(4). Does this interfere with your ability to pray or hear God clearly? Does this cause strife in your relationship? Do you find you and family members are easily agitated, and perhaps argue more than usual? Is anyone living in the house on strong medications? Does anyone have/or had addictions? Is anyone having anger issues or dealing with unforgiveness issues for past hurts or abuses?
(5). Have things been moved? Are objects suddenly found to have gone missing and then reappear (for example: leaving your car keys on the table, then unable to locate them but later you return and they are right where you had left them)? Is it a place of hearing voices, seeing figures or dark shadows? Do you see movements from the corner of your eye? Are you being touched? Are there strange lights, circular shapes or discolorations in photographs taken around you or in the area of haunting?
(6). Have you or anyone in your family ever dabbled in occult practices? These include playing with a Ouija board, holding séances, visiting a psychic for a reading, Tarot cards, tea leaf reading, etc? Open portals and unHoly invitations can be caused by people dabbling in the occult, whether it is accidental or just kids reading something out of a book or a small group intent on making a supernatural link.
(7). Are there any tools of divination or objects such as idols or carvings that were given/brought from foreign countries that might be dedicated to demonic practices or cults? Have you received/purchased anything, jewelry/furniture/etc. from garage sales, antique shops or other sources where the item history is unknown? Portals can be made through an object, which may be given to another person, thus passing the connections on with it. Whether the person receiving it knows about it or not they have just made a binding contract to the demons by agreeing to accept the gift. Or if a person bought it, to the demon that contract is still as binding to the person who now owns it, as it was from the beginning by the person who first dedicated it through ritual. Not all dedicated items become portals, but the incidence is high (read the article �Portals of Evil � Opening and Closing Them - Do You Own Things That are Harming You?� on the website).
(8). How long has this been happening? Did the previous owner or tenants have similar issues? Do you know of any documented history or previous problems in the home, of a haunted nature or otherwise? Has anyone died on the property? Has there been damage to the property? Have there been any modifications to the existing building or any current construction projects now underway?
(9). Is the house near a gravesite, graveyard, cemetery or burial ground? Has the property ever been blessed by a Priest or other Holy person? Are there any remarkable odors or occurrences of a foul, putrid or rotting smell? Do the lights or electricity act up frequently? Are there unusual cold spots in the house? Are there sounds that can't be logically explained, including pounding, growling or knocking sounds?
Is it malevolent or benevolent? In my opinion it is malevolent.

What gifts to buy for a set of parents and a guy friend?
Q. I have two gift exchanges that I'll be doing in about a week which I haven't yet taken care of gifts for.
One is a set of parents of a close friend. I don't have to get them a gift, but I want to show them how appreciative I am of them to for always having me over to their house (overnight sometimes), feeding me dinner and taking me to the movies and bowling, etc (inviting me of their own volition, even). I was thinking a candle or something simple like that, but I don't know if the dad would really appreciate that? Or is okay just to get the mom a general gift like that?
The other is for a guy friend of mine. I've known him for about two years and he's a real mensch. The thing is he doesn't seem to like anything too distinct---sports, yes, but I know his GF is getting him something sport related. I don't know any TV shows or music he likes in general, or movies, so I'm a bit of a loss. I don't want to give him (or the aforementioned parents) gift cards because it seems so impersonal.
Thanks in advance!

specials. Find out what�s available in your area.
33. Some volunteer fire departments use holiday fauna to create flower and rose
bouquets as a fund-raiser. Prices are reasonable; just get there early.
34. If she loves chocolate�Take her on a chocolates tour. Find your hometown
chocolate purveyor and ask for a behind-the-scenes tour. Next, go to a restaurant
that serves her favorite chocolate dessert. Return home to snuggle with a cup of
hot chocolate.
35. Use a bar of soap to draft a love note on your bathroom mirror. Or, if you shower
first, write a love note to your sweetheart in the steam on the mirror.

39. Guys�If you want to order flowers for your gal, supermarket florists are generally
half the price of the stand-alone or on-line stores, but the trick to for seeing real
savings is to order two weeks or more in advance and pay for the flowers up
front���..Another trick to save money, get other guys who want to order flowers
to join you and place your orders to the same florist all at once. The florist may
give you a �bulk� discount. Again, important to plan ahead.
40. Plan a scavenger hunt. Write clues and place them in envelopes, and place the
envelopes around town. Make the final clue a doozey of a destination.
