6B FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2006 Feel good all day u r' i ause me to ■ hear thy loving V*/ kindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust; cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.” The instructor of an early morning exercise class advised her students that it is better to feel good all day than waiting all day to feel good. Although it was not her intentions, the instructor had offered food for spiri- ML Earline Cole Reflections crawled out of bed and started my day without taking time for even a brief devotion. I might send thoughts upward throughout the day but that is just not the same • as allowing special time for fellowship with God. A few minutes of good physical exercise condi tions the body and mind to function in a more relaxed and effective manner. A few minutes devot ed to Bible reading and prayer each morning pre pares the body, mind and soul for unforseen chal lenges. There are those of us who occasionally have dreary days. With little effort we can reverse the situation. It is unnecessary to wait all day to feel good physi cally or spiritually when it is so simple to feel good all day. DOBSON From page jB When this kind of nose-to nose confrontation occurs between generations, paren tal leadership is on the line. It is not time for quiet dis cussions about the virtues of obedience. It is not the occasion for bribes or bargaining or promises. Nor is it wise to wait until Dad comes home from work to handle the misbehavior. You have drawn a line in the dirt, and Chris has tossed his cute little toe across it. Who is going to win? Who has the most courage? Who is in charge here? Those are the questions he is asking, and it is vital that you answer them for him. If you equivocate at that moment, he will precip itate other battles designed to ask them again and again. That’s just the way a strong willed child thinks. It is the ultimate paradox of child hood that youngsters want to be led, but insist that their parents earn the right to lead them.

The Blessing of the Animals The Feast of St. Francis of Assisi will be celebrat ed Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. with the Blessing of the Animals at St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church in Perry. This event is open to the community and all pets are welcome. According to Fr. Bill Anderson, St. Francis (1182-1226) is known for his love of peace and his kinship with all creatures. Some eight centuries after Francis lived in Italy, people around the world strive to follow the Gospel with the joy he expressed. The Blessing of the Animals is a popular cus tom in remembrance of St. Francis’ love for all crea tures and in thanksgiving to tual, as well as physi ca 1 , nour ish- ment. There have been morn ings when I tion is to look first at the issue of intent, and second ly, at the issue of respect. From your interpretation of these two attitudes you should know instantly how to respond. QUESTION: I really believe in giving children the freedom to do wrong as long as there isn’t any danger involved. For example, I let my kids curse and use swear words and don’t see any harm in it. Do you agree? DR. DOBSON: No. I would hope that parents wouldn’t use that kind of language and certainly don’t believe they should permit their kids to do so. It is disrespect ful, crude and unnecessary to talk like that. Dr. Dobson is founder and chairman of the board of the nonprofit organization Focus on the Family, P.O.

Home builders sometimes cut corners and install the cheapest com modes. If you have a cheap or suspect commode, you would be well served to replace it at your own expense to avoid a future catastrophe. The Hebrew nation under Moses wandered in the Sinai Desert for 40 years. No won der they complained. There were no bathrooms, no toi let tissue, and no running water. But that was better than Pharaoh’s bondage. The Lord was punishing them for their disobedi ence and unfaithfulness. God for pets.
