Parenting

I am no expert parent by a long shot. In fact, sometimes I think I am barely a parent. But I have two kids that live in my house and I am pretty sure I am responsible for them.

Having said that, here’s an article that interests me.

In what has become an annual event close to graduation, another lawsuit was filed about prayer at graduation. Here, a couple in Texas said “their son would ‘suffer irreparable harm’ if anyone prayed at the graduation.” And the judge agreed.

Seriously?

You have had eighteen years to raise your son, and a short prayer at a graduation is going to push him over the edge?

I am going to go out on a limb and suggest this isn’t a prayer problem. It’s a parenting problem.
