We all enjoy hearing our beliefs confirmed. Our family of four children enjoyed doing many of the things Becky Sweat mentioned in her article. I remember hearing of a study that found a common factor among children who excelled in school was having family meals together. The article was full of good ideas that are easy to apply. Please send our thanks to Becky.

The world is becoming a smaller and smaller community and the reverberations of what happened at Columbine High School were felt around the world. And it was not only this incident in the United States but the many happenings in the U.S. in politics, religion, education and the family are having a chilling effect on the rest of humanity.

I log on not infrequently on the web site www.ucg.org. I am very much interested in the work of the United Church of God.

What an excellent article about the tragic state of our children and our society at large. I intend to share this wonderful insight with others. Thanks again for the great work on this website.

I just read your article in VCM and thought I should just tell you "thanks". It was very good.

I drive around a lot (I'm a truck driver:-) ) and I see a few of the type of houses you were talking about in the article. They certainly do draw your attention to them and they do give a sense of warmth and friendliness.
