Seems Eli was not diligent in training his sons when they were children and they grew up thinking they could do as they liked. I've used this example in http://christian.families.com/blog/laziness-part-2-in-parenting Creative Discipline - Blog Entry18 Mar 2008 04:55 PM What I like is that you have really thought about how to make parenting work and not taken the easy option.

For Freelance Writers--Do You Keep a Journal Too? - Blog Entry16 Mar 2008 09:24 PM I agree. When we moved house last year I had boxes and boxes filled with journals. And yes, I do go back to them and pull ideas from them for my writing. A number of my Christian blogs have come from those journals.

What Can You Tell from How a Child Colors? - Blog Entry14 Mar 2008 02:55 PM I noticed the different ways children color last week in a scripture class. Some insist on colouring in the exact colors of the picture they had been shown. As a general rule girls tend to color between lines more than boys, but not always. My son was neat at coloring. When my children were little I always tried to help them break out of the stereotypes and be imginative and end up with pink and orange skies or blue tres etc. Our daughter grew up to study art. I wonder how much was already in her and how much parents can foster and develop imagination. Movie News: Cursing Doesn't Pay - Blog Entry14 Mar 2008 02:43 PM I read these stats too in a newspaper in Australia recently.I wish more filmmakers would realise this and trim offennsive language etc. Public Displays of Affection: How Much is Too Much? - Blog Entry14 Mar 2008 02:37 PM My husband and I always hold hands and the occsiaonl brief kiss depending on the circumstances when out.
