In 1631, England's royal printers reprinted the Bible but somehow omitted the ''not'' in Exodus 20:14, the seventh commandment concerning adultery. The printers, were fined £300 and lost their license.

The archbishop of Canterbury complained about the declining standards of the proofreaders.

There is no humor in today’s attitudes toward moral behavior which is why so many references are constantly being made in the direction of ancient Rome. Therefore…to all parents and grandparents…

Don’t let your misbehaving teenager or grand daughter or grand son justify his or her actions with the term new morality.

There is no new morality or old morality. There is only morality.

And, yes, “We don’t break the Ten Commandment. If we ignore them, they break us.”

Discuss what it would be like of most people were vandals and roamed the streets with graffiti spraying paint cans or worse.

Talk about what kind of a world it would be if marriage became old hat and sexual predators roamed by the thousands.

Suggest the effect of thousands dying day after day because no one showed any kind of moral restraint.

Say things like, “Be good, son of mine, as an act of courage in a world full of moral cowards.” “Be good, daughter of mine, as an act of thanksgiving to God.” To your teenager underline with vigor that he or she is a force for good or a force for evil and that there is no in between.

“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” (Isaiah 5:20)

Quote from tomorrow’s One A Day blog entitled… KEEP ON KEEPING ON

“Her name is Suzy Favor Hamilton and she ran in the women’s 1500 meter final. She didn’t win the race, or come in second or third. Actually, she collapsed 75 meters from the finish line and then staggering to her feet managed to continue on.

She barely made it and had to be taken off the track slumped in a wheel chair. She had not won, but then…”

“Do you enjoy visiting friends?

More than likely you’re thinking, Preacher, of course, I do.

Now let me ask the other side of the coin - Do you enjoy visiting enemies?

No?

Well, I know you must enjoy visiting at least one enemy because, like myself, you probably visit this one quite often.

Unfortunately, we all …visit this enemy…whose name is anger.

Some visit anger seldom . Some on a regular basis. And during those visits, some spew and others stew.”
