The Sweetness of Teaching Your Child God’s Word- Angela Turner

There are so many things to learn In parenthood. It is a never ending educational process. My husband and I are both high school graduates and I have a Bachelors degree, yet we agree that our 24 year parenting experience has taught us more than any formal education ever could-- growing, connecting, communicating, building trust, meeting needs which vary from child to child. Emotional, physical, mental and spiritual needs can be so overwhelming for any dedicated mom or dad that takes on the responsibility of training them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

Over the years, I have learned to value trick or treating as a great time to establish personal skills and communication. Here are a few reasons why you want to go all in trick or treating this Halloween. High motivation- When candy and treats are at stake, most kids will give as much as they can to earn the prize. Repetition-It might not be perfect at the first house.  It will get a little better at each house you visit. By the end of the night you will have some success

Dads- Don Fyler

Twenty years ago we were getting ready to welcome our third son into our family. The days leading up to his arrival were filled with excitement and anticipation. We thought we were done having children but God had other plans for us. On the day of his arrival the excitement and joy quickly turned to surprise, sadness and fear. Fear of the future mainly. What had happened? Had we done something wrong? Not us!?  We were good born again, Holy Spirit filled, tithing Christians and I worked at a local church. I thought I failed in some way. As the leader of the house, I
