apologies and parenting

Sorry for the long break. I was in Frankfurt, Germany for a week, then Manaus, Brazil for a week, and this week I had 4.5 very full days leading a training. I just got my first breather and it is now time to catch-up on mail, stuff that broke around the house, etc..

Getting caught up on this blog is also on my list to do but my parents are coming in from Jersey tonight so ... we'll you'll be able to tell by how much I blog this weekend how that visit is going. ;- )

But - in case I don't get a chance to write soon, here's neat list of 10 things to teach your children from God through Solomon to The Pulpit Magazine to me to you ...

Teach your children:

1. To have a healthy fear of God (1:7; 9:10; 10:27; 14:26-27; 15:16; 16:6; 19:23)

2. To guard their minds (4:23; 23:7)

3. To obey you (1:8; 4:1-4; 6:20-23; 30:17)

4. To carefully select their companions (1:11-18; 2:10-15; 13:20)

5. To control their sinful desires (2:16-19; 5:3-5; 6:23-33; 7:6-27)

6. To enjoy sexual fidelity (5:15-20)

7. To watch their words (4:24; 10:11, 19-21, 32; 12:18, 22; 15:1-2; 16:23; 20:15)

8. To pursue their work (6:6-11; 10:4-5; 22:29)

9. To manage their money (3:9-10; 11:24-26; 19:17; 22:9)

10. To love their neighbors (3:27-29; 25:21-22)
