Extramarital Affairs, Like Sanford’s, Morally Taboo
- GALLUP
There is also a slight difference between men's views and women's views on extramarital affairs; 8% of men say they are acceptable, compared to 3% of women. And despite the conventional wisdom that young Americans may be more morally libertine than those who are older, 18- to 29-year-olds in the Gallup survey are little different in their views on the moral acceptability of extramarital affairs than are those 30 years of age and up.

 Los Angeles ponders banning trans fat
-
CBS News
Following New York's lead, Los Angeles considers banning trans fat from local restaurant menus to promote healthy eating among residents.
Jot Condie, president of the 22,000-member California Restaurant Association, said he is open to suggestions but believes banning something widely used in homes "has more cons than pros."
- How will banning substances such as trans fat from restaurant menus inspire residents to change their overall eating habits... or will it? Why would the use of trans fats be a public health issue?
- Some individuals struggle with overeating unhealthy foods; others may turn to cigarettes, alcohol, or other addictive substances for comfort or strength. What driving inner need are they trying to meet (Secure Love, Significant Purpose or Strong Hope - check out Grace Based Parenting)? What is the root sin they are battling? (idolatry) How do these substances function as idols in an individual's life?
- See Psalm 115: 1-8. What do idols have to offer someone seeking help?
- Where can believers turn for comfort, guidance and strength? See Psalm 27:1-3 and Proverbs 3: 5-6.

How do you define success for your child? “Graduates from a prestigious college.” “Nabs a high-paying job.” “Settles down with a nice family.” Sounds good. But what if you got it all wrong?
What about greatness? Where does it fit in? “If you aim your children at anything less than greatness, you’ll set them up to miss the whole point of their lives,” says author Tim Kimmel. In Raising Kids for True Greatness, Kimmel turns the definition of success on its head and guides you in preparing your child for a life that will easily eclipse the goals of those who are merely successful.
