"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Good Parenting

Have these words ever come out of your mouth?  "Be reverent"  I bet they have.  Have they ever come out of your mouth during prayer?  And here is the kicker, have you ever yelled those words?  Yep, I have.  I'm not sure if that is and all time high, or low......
