He ordained that youngsters be influenced, trained, and shaped by their mothers and fathers. Children will follow us and will pattern themselves according to the model we set.

If I was in the family room watching television, they would be cuddled up beside me. If I shut off the TV and picked up a book, that is what they would do. If I was reading my Bible, there were our sons, spread out around the room, reading their Bibles.
