I've been sitting here tonight being grateful for my family and dear friend and the time we spent together on Mother's Day, then I clicked over the Front Porch and saw this sad post: Josephine at DixieCajun has lost her husband to a fatal truck accident. "He was a truck driver and tried to avoid hitting a pick-up truck then over-compensated the other way and hit him head-on, the truck then split in half and exploded." The family is in a state of shock and needs all of our prayers.
I made a little change with my Friends List. It's on the left side and to open it just click on the word "Friends" and it pops out! Neat, huh! To close it click on it again! Thank you

Seven Steps to Raising Godly Children
Principle - Impart God's word on your children and live in a way that you are their greatest example of what a Christ-abiding parent should be.
Pattern - Teach your children a pattern of prayer; when to pray, how to pray, and why prayer is important.
Persistence - Don't ever give up...teach your children to always have faith and not to give up when things get hard.
Participation - Our children crave our attention! The way our children see us is the way they'll see God in thier lives.
Praise - Encourage children, praise them when they do something right and help them when they have a hard time.
Prayer - Teach your children to pray and then to TRUST God for the outcome.
Priority - Make God the Head and Heart of your home and let them live with God's desire coming first in your lives.
