Becky and the boys left for Michigan yesterday. They originally planned to make it a 2-day drive, but since everyone was doing great in the car - they drove all the way yesterday. Becky's mom is with her and helped with the driving. The Suburban is loaded down with a rack on the back and cargo carrier on top (which happens to look just like King Tut's sarcophagus).
I'll join up with them next week and then Becky and I will drive to Cleveland to particpate in the Growing Families National Conference. We are both speaking at the conference and I have been furiously researching and writing a new seminar (with the assistance of Hank O and many others) entitled "Training and Protecting Your Kids in a Technology World" or "Raising Daniels in a Technological Babylon". It's been an eye-opening exercise and the statistics are astounding, but it really boils down to training your children. Daniel 1:8 states " Daniel resolved to not defile himself . . . ". And it was Daniel's moral maturity that sustained him - but did not remove him from the fact that he was still trained in Babylonian culture. Technology will not go away, our children will be inundated, and technology tools are integrated in their life. But their use can be dangerous and they need to be trained to "resolve to not defile themselves".
