Yeah, and just remember too, the devil definitely offers fun, for God says sin has a season, the appeal to our flesh is real for all of us, thats why I need to stand clear of it always..... even tho I have victory over it......That issue my wife and I differed in,in telling the kids. She would tell them at age 13 Drugs are a lie, they don't do what people say they do their evil. I would try to explain, they do, do what people say they will do but they will not stop there, they will carry you to where it destroys you and leaves you stripped of joy and will enslave you to the sin. The fun will come and the fun will go and you will be lead to sins end...death.
That's probably why the kids ran screaming!! No daddy...I don't want to die!!!....No, that part didn't happen. They actually respected my honesty, it's just too bad a couple respected it after they tried it..
I guess I should look at it like we covered all the bases that way...the best we could....thank God for a Christian example tho, for one never did, and one has returned to God, still working out the details to that walk tho...still thank you Lord! smile.
