This is a great point. Awesome in fact. I know kids from some of THE most conservative households that have come to me and told me what they watched at a friend's house.

The unfortuante thing is that we are stupid to think we can keep the world away from our kids. We need to partner with them, instilling in them, integrity, character, and the ability to make a tough decision in the face of ridicule.

I do not want to stand between my kid and the world, I want to stand WITH my kid in defense and representation of what is right.


It is kind of a teach a man to fish type principal...

Restrict a kid and he will be compliant for a day
Teach the kid and he will be responsible for life.

We should live every moment in love with HIM...
Thought about that old song...
"Keep your eyes on Jesus, keep your eyes ever on him. Many friends and dear love ones have lost their way they have lost their vision of him...

I just came in from a red hot prayer meeting...It was awesome...

My son is watching a movie about kids robbing a bank on the Disney Channel. hmm... but I'm certain there's a completely reasonable explanation that doesn't have to involve parallel universes.

Anyway, so are you implying that this story has a message for us today? Is it that if we sin, God may zap us? And if we stop sinning, He won't let anything worse happen to us? I hope the lady in live4him's post took this to heart, so nothing worse than blindness will ever happen to her.

So, if my cynical, but perfectly literal, interpretation isn't what you had in mind, what are we to learn from that scripture and from the woman's testimony? Seriously!

Bump!

And run!

Heading to Orlando for a week. Don't post anything interesting while I'm gone!
