One of my favorite periodicals is Think magazine, published by Focus Press. It is filled each month with articles about social and science and economic matters, giving very thoughtful arguments from a Christian and Biblical perspective. I am almost always challenged or enlightened by some ideas. For instance, I am a biology major, thus I have a lot of interest in issues surrounding evolution or stem cells or cloning. One of the editors of Think is a PhD who presents very interesting or enlightening articles on such topics.
In the January issue, however, there was an article about being wise parent. I am now raising two grandsons and took some good points from the article. My favorite quote is "A parental tantrum after the child has done wrong is not well-balanced parenting." It made me stop and reflect on some of my current habits.

Good quote! It's important that at least one of the generations behaves like grown ups. I used to joke with my hubby that I thought our kids may grow up before he did. He beat them to it, but only by milliseconds...

There is a time for everything,
a season for every activity
under heaven. A time to be
born and a time to die. A
time to plant and a time to
harvest. A time to kill and
a time to heal. A time to
tear down and a time to
rebuild. A time to cry and
a time to laugh. A time to
grieve and a time to dance.
A time to scatter stones
and a time to gather stones.
A time to embrace and a
time to turn away. A time to
search and a time to lose.
A time to keep and a time to
throw away. A time to tear
and a time to mend. A time
to be quiet and a time to
speak up. A time to love
and a time to hate. A time
for war and a time for peace.
Best wishes for continued ascendancy,

Tell me sometime what your
thoughts are about all this:O)
Beth, I think your husband and I may have similar make up. I doubt that I won the race with my children for maturity. My second daughter says my first one turned forty long before either of her parents!
Professor Howdy, Thanks for the visit and the time to comment. I think this is the first time we have met. I always love reading scripture, so the quote from Ecclesiastes was welcome. And I checked out two to the links (so far). I liked both the first one at the top of the list and I especially enjoyed the Is Jesus God post.
