Teach Your Children Well

Wednesdays are wonderful! Rick Warren told me in his book, The Purpose Driven Life, that I could be as close to God as I wanted to be. I've learned over the months and years that is soooo true. I just finished a wonderful Bible study at Porter Memorial Baptist Church and also a lecture series about the Old Testament at Southland Christian Church. I am learning so much about our God and His people and how much He loves us!

I have been so saddened this week upon hearing of two deaths. A young high school cheerleader planning her college choice died while going under the knife for breast augmentation surgery. A Central Florida football player collapsed and died after a "voluntary" workout the day before Spring practice was set to begin.

There are lessons to learn here. God tells us we are beautiful, he created us that way. If we are doing what He planned for us to do, we are always beautiful. Sports in school are there to enrich the student's life, they are not worth the student athlete's life. Coaches and parents should remind their players, sons and daughters of that.

Be careful out there, take your umbrella, and have a great day, luv, Susan
