CHILDREN, RESPONSIBILITY TOCultivating faithDate: 6/2008.101 British poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge once had a discussion with a man who firmly believed that children should not be given formal religious instruction, but should be free to choose their own religious faith when they reached maturity. Coleridge did not disagree, but later invited the man into his somewhat neglected garden. "Do you call this a garden?" the visitor exclaimed. "There are nothing but weeds here!" "Well, you see," Coleridge replied, "I did not wish to infringe upon the liberty of the garden in any way. I was just giving the garden a chance to express itself." Daily Walk, March 28, 1992 CHILDREN, RULES OF RAISINGHonoring the motherDate: 5/2006.101 Susannah Wesley was married at age 19 to Samuel Wesley, a minister, and had nineteen children. Samuel was often gone for church meetings and revivals, so she assumed the primary load in raising the children. Two of her sons are well-known to us today: John and Charles Wesley. John launched the Methodist movement and Charles was a celebrated composer and hymn-writer; you would recognize some of his music like Christ the Lord is Risen Today and Hark! the Herald Angels Sing. Susannah Wesley spent time each day praying for her 19 children. She also took each child aside for a full hour every week to discuss spiritual matters. She also expected each child to be able to read the Book of Genesis by the time he or she was six years child. Here are her famous 16 rules of raising children: 1. Eating between meals not allowed. 2. As children they are to be in bed by 8 p.m. 3. They are required to take medicine without complaining. 4. Subdue self-will in a child, and those working together with God to save the child's soul. 5. To teach a child to pray as soon as he can speak. 6. Require all to be still during Family Worship. 7. Give them nothing that they cry for, and only that when asked for politely. 8. To prevent lying, punish no fault which is first confessed and repented of. 9. Never allow a sinful act to go unpunished. 10. Never punish a child twice for a single offense. 11. Comment and reward good behavior. 12. Any attempt to please, even if poorly performed, should be commended. 13. Preserve property rights, even in smallest matters. 14. Strictly observe all promises. 15. Require no daughter to work before she can read well. 16. Teach children to fear the rod.

When finally she did hang up, her father said sarcastically, "You usually talk for two hours. What stopped you this time?" "Wrong Number!" CHILDREN, WEDDINGThe Ring BearerSeptember 28 2013 Jack & Sonya Wedding Oct 22 2016 Kenny & Lejing Wedding Dennis Kizziar Retold by Mattjacobson Johnny was very excited. It was the first time he had ever been asked to do something this important. As the wedding music began to play he imagined just how he should carry the pillow with two shiny rings tied on top. Just before touching him on the shoulder to give him the cue to walk down the aisle, his mother looked down and smiled into the upturned face of her four-year-old son. "Don't worry, Mommy." Johnny implored, "I'll do a good job."
During the reception, the pastor walked up to Johnny who was getting his second piece of wedding cake. "Say, Johnny, what were you doing while bringing the rings to me?" "My job," declared Johnny proudly, "They asked me to be the Ring Bear!"
Roe vs. Wade – AbortionDate: 3/2009.101 9/20/2009 DCFC English [Life & Theology - Is there a connection?] Theology of the Imago Dei Have you ever made a poor choice that ended up destroying many lives? Norma McCorvey was influenced by her attorneys, Sarah Weddington and Linda Coffee, and used to change the landscape of America. Norma, whose pseudonym was "Jane Roe," was an unmarried woman who sought to get an abortion to end her pregnancy. In Texas, where Roe lived, abortions to end pregnancies not endangering the mother's life were illegal. So, Roe being used by her attorneys, filed suit against Texas and took her suit to the Supreme Court. On January 22, 1973, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Roe and declared many anti-abortion laws unconstitutional. In 1995, Norma McCorvey was answering phones at the Dallas clinic, A Choice for Women, when the pro-life group Operation Rescue moved into the office space next door. She tried trading insults with the pro-lifers, but they rebuffed her barbs with smiles, scripture and an invitation to church. McCorvey quit her clinic job later that summer and announced her conversion to Christianity. Operation Rescue's national director, Rev. Philip "Flip" Benham, baptized McCorvey in a Dallas swimming pool. In 2004, McCorvey went before the New Orleans Circuit Court of Appeals with a motion to overturn the Supreme Court's 1973 decision. The New Orleans court rejected the motion and dropped the case. On Sunday, January 13, 2008, McCorvey, the keynote speaker at a Choose Life Rally in Reno, Nevada, said, "I felt that I was doing something good for humankind, and I was wrong. I stand before you now, and I ask for your forgiveness."
