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.

 Banned From Prom
-
Times Picayune
The 2007 prom theme at Higgins High School, Bittersweet Memories, said it all for twenty-five girls turned away at the door for inappropriate dress. Although the New Orleans' school regulations explicitly forbid it, the young women arrived in dresses that showed too much cleavage, or made use of see-through fabric. "I was embarrassed," said Miranda Melerine, 17, a senior who was among those barred from the evening's activities. "Our prom has been stolen from us." Do clothes really "make the man"--or young woman?
-
Do you think these girls should have been turned away from the prom? What did their choice of attire say about the school's rules?
-
How do you think clothes communicate your priorities to the world? Give some examples of how certain types of people dress, and what their clothing "tells" others about them. What message do low-cut or see-through dresses communicate?
-
See Ephesians 5:15-17. Do you think choosing your clothing gives you an "opportunity" to honor Christ? How?
-
See 1 John 2:15-17. How were the girls at this prom "boasting" about what they had? What effect do you think dresses may have on the boys around them?
-
How should our faith in Christ impact our daily choices? See Colossians 3:1-14. Do you think immodest dress is part of our "earthly" nature?

Raising Kids For True Greatness
You want only the best for your kids. And you want them to be successful. Sure, there’s nothing wrong with that. But what if there was something more? Could your definition of success be leaving out the most important part?

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.
