We've devoted our lives to bringing them up well. They are, thankfully, part of a large extended family in which the adults are in stable marriages, as well as a solid, traditional church where my 13-y-o is a confirmand. They don't have the latest electronic gadgets or watch much TV. They love the outdoors (we live in the country) and read a lot of good books, including the Bible. They also do gymnastics, a highly disciplined sport. And they love to mow the lawn, fish, play ball, and just generally accompany their dad in his activities (as does their little sister!). I work hard to shape their character; I don't let them get away with nonsense. I try to teach them good habits. We are not a perfect family, but we believe in Christian virtue and solid citizenship, and are doing our best to instruct our kids in these things.

I'm interested in Milton's ideas. As a (homeschooling) mom of two boys, with a husband who is not a spiritual role model, I want to know what *I* can do, or what I ought to look to my church to do.

I don't want to hijack your post with lots of words of my own, but if you'd like to discuss a few ideas families and churches could be implementing right now, please email me. Peace.
