Extreme measures bring extreme results. If you want a normal life, do what normal people do. If you want to know God intimately, walk with Him daily, and please Him in every way, you're going to have to do what few do. Absolutely nothing.

He knows every hair on your head, and he sees every tear you shed.

In fact, if our kids are successful in every normal way, they can still miss God's main mark.

Training is an active, dynamic process lived out daily in all areas of life- not a rote exercise in memorizing verses and going to church every week.

Just because opportunities present themselves doesn't mean you should accept every one of them. It's not realistic, and it's also not wise.
