So apparently there is an International Bible Competition for Jewish young people

A student from a girl’s school near Tel Aviv beat 15 finalists to win the 2010 International Bible contest, traditionally held on Israel’s Independence Day. Or Ashual, 17, whose name means “light,” is a student at Amana girls’ school in Kfar Saba. Her father, Shimon, won the contest 27 years ago.

Like father, like daughter!

Not discount generic claritin sure exactly what the questions are… probably doesn’t include the new testament.

What you value as a parent WILL leak to your kids!

Read a great post on the topic of Discipline Via the Ross Road Kids blog:

Ross Road Kids partners with parents in investing in their kids!

This blog began as a networking of parents of Ross Road Kids but has quickly welcomed parents all over the world…

Secrets of Disciplining Your Kids – It’s All In The Before

Some claritin generics quotes:

• Discipline is 90% prevention and only 10% reaction.
• Discipline isn’t what you do when children misbehave; it’s what you do so they won’t.
• It is well-trained, well-taught children that handle choices responsibly and with respect for the rights and needs of others

Love it!

We should and can expect parents to make right decisions about their children — right?

Parents want their kids to grow up strong, healthy and have the knowledge neccasary to lead a productive life — right?

Maybe we assume to much? If you ask any parent the question above, the overwhelming response will be — “of course they want that for their child”.

Parents may have the desire to see that for their children, but lets assume that they don’t know HOW to achieve that. Just like what happened in the recent hurricane Katrina disaster — FEMA and the American Red Cross launched a pilot progam in which 10,500 emergency debit cards at a value of $2000 a piece were issued to evacuees.

The program was killed within a few days of its implementation, though, because of reported abuses: one survivor reportedly bought “over $700 in high heel shoes and purses” at a Memphis department store “while (her) younger children, most of them looked under the age of 3, looked like they haven’t showered in weeks.”

“If they make an inappropriate decision as to what to purchase, the whole issue of victims’ rights comes into play,” said Bill Hildebrandt, CEO of the Mid-South chapter of the American Red Cross, “They have a right, I guess, to be inappropriate.”

Lets always assume, when dealing with parents, that they have the desire but not the knowledge — and work to educating them to approporiate decisions!
