logic
my beautiful bride goes out of her way to teach decency and character to our children..
i do not go out of my way to teach them how to be subversive and hypercritical..
they come by it naturally..
for instance..
one of the things my bride has drilled into them is this..
god first, others second, myself third..
it’s called the “i’m third” philosophy..
so, yesterday, our seven year old son davis had this question..
“but mommy.. if everyone does god first, others second, and their self third.. how does that work? that seems kinda hard.. like nothing would ever happen..”
we had a good chuckle over that..
i don’t like to encourage such smart aleck behavior..
but privately, as someone who has had the question “what if everyone did that?” accusingly posed to him a thousand times..
i was glad to finally hear it turned around..
