Road Rage: An honest man was being tailgated by a stressed out woman on a busy boulevard. Suddenly, the light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection. The tailgating woman hit the roof, and the horn, screaming in frustration as she missed her chance to get through the intersection, dropping her cell phone and makeup. As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up. He took her to the police station where she was searched, fingerprinted, photographed, and placed in a holding cell. After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects. He said, “I’m very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping off the guy in front of you, and cussing a blue streak at him. I noticed the ‘Choose Life’ license plate holder, the ‘What Would Jesus Do’ bumper sticker, the ‘Follow Me to Sunday School’ bumper sticker, and the chrome plated Christian Fish emblem on the trunk. Naturally…I assumed you had stolen the car.”
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT…CHILD TRAINING continued By J. Richard Fugate
God could always control any individual who oversteps his boundaries, but often allows such a one to remain in his position of power to discipline the people or to test those under his rulership. God allows us to have exactly the kind of rulership we need to fulfill His plan for each of us.
Each human institution has been established by God for the protection and blessing of those within that institution. The various institutions provide a diversification of power, which restrains any evil leader from possessing absolute control. Historically, all evil leaders have always attempted to destroy the separate institutions and establish themselves as the absolute authority in place of God. Only God is capable of ruling through the multiple institutions because of His all power, all presence, and all knowledge.
Any problems concerning authority are not the fault of God’s principles, but are due to man’s failure to function properly according to God’s Word. You need to understand thoroughly the issue of authority because, as a parent, you are in one of these positions of authority. As a parent, you answer directly to God. You need to know the areas of your accountability, the boundaries of your rulership, and how to handle properly your responsibilities.

A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?" the answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:
"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails any more. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love." Rebecca- age 8
"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth." Billy - age 4
"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other." Karl - age 5
"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired." Terri - age 4
"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well." Tommy - age 6
