Thoughts on College

Voddie Baucham has an interesting post on college alternatives here.  I would like to hear your thoughts, dear readers, about his ideas, particularly the five points he raises.  Please no one take offense.  I am not advocating here; just a dad beginning to think through some of these issues as my children grow.

It boggles the mind

If you want to get an idea about what the stimulus plan will cost, check out this post.  Our children's children will be paying off this debt.

Ministry to Families

Here are some thoughts concerning the problems, models, assumptions, and practices revolving around ministry to families.  I think one of the issues that is crucial to the discipleship of our children is the role of fathers.  That is not to downplay the importance of moms but an absentee father versus an involved father can be pivotal, both for boys and girls.

Letter from a soldier

I asked God for strength, that I might achieve.  I was made weak, that I might humble learn to obey.
I asked for health, that I might do greater things.  I was given infirmity, that I might do better things.
I asked for riches, that I might be happy.  I was given poverty, that I might be wise.
I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men.  I was given weakness, that I might feel my need of God.
I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life.  I was given life, that I might enjoy all things.
I got nothing that I asked for, but everything I hoped for. 
Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.
I among all men am most richly blessed.
