Presidents Need Wisdom

Happy President's Day! I love history and this country is so blessed that just the right leaders and Presidents have been at the right place at just the right time to guide our country through many stormy "seas" of opinion and need for action. In Sunday school, we are still in the 1st chapter of Daniel. We discovered Daniel was given wisdom to solve dilemmas and that wisdom is needed when there are shades of gray. Just like our political leaders today, we adults need wisdom to deal with the daily dilemmas we face. And we parents need to exhibit right thinking in our family settings. So last week, Ron came to our office for a high priority meeting. He outlined the new regulations coming down the pike in our industry. As he was introduced, we found out he graduated from Williams College undergrad and Georgtown Law School. I went up to Ron later, thanked him and commented on his education. I found out he went to Woodberry Forest for high school. So I asked what his family did about mealtime as he was growing up. He shared his mom was a maid and his father a chauffeur. He said they regularly ate meals at the dinner table with the TV turned off! I respectfully ask that you conduct your own test for one month- either cook the meals yourself or recruit help through a cooking co-op to solve the dilemmas we face in education, soaring costs of food, obesity... just to name a few. You have just enough time to get organized for the month of March. Bring March in like a lion... hum.. Daniel and the lion's den!
