Pastoral Resources

If we do not act now to strengthen Social Security, the system that so many depend upon today will be unable to meet its promises to tomorrow's retirees, and it will burden our children and grandchildren with exhaustive taxes.

Little children, you are from God, and have conquered them; for the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in this world.

Each of our children during their high school years went to 'early morning seminary' - scripture study classes that met in the home of a church member every school day morning from 6:30 until 7:15.

Christine and I haven't raised our children. A whole community of selfless Christians has contributed to helping them become faithful, competent adults.

Because we employ no professional preachers, it means that every sermon or lesson in church is given by a regular member - women and men, children and grandparents.

The status quo and the media is doing everything it can to fry children's brains and make them grow up maladjusted.

Children can only take so much, and they deal with it however they can.

I also developed an interest in sports, and played in informal games at a nearby school yard where the neighborhood children met to play touch football, baseball, basketball and occasionally, ice hockey.

Children from like 8 and even up to the college age - Spider-Man appeals to a fairly broad demographic but, like I said, a mean age probably of 12 is a good mark - they process information so quickly and it's not because of attention deficit or short attention span.

When you kill 500,000 children in order to impose your will on other countries, then you shouldn't be surprised when somebody responds in kind.

I go to Malawi twice a year. It's where two of my children were adopted from, and I have a lot of projects there that I go and check up on and children who I look after. It's sort of a commitment that I've made to this country and the hundreds of thousands of children there who have been orphaned by AIDS.

What gift has providence bestowed on man that is so dear to him as his children?

Of all nature's gifts to the human race, what is sweeter to a man than his children?

Both my parents were doctors, and my mother had her surgery in the house. There were six children.

Once, the parental bed collapsed because all the children sat on it at once.

If you've got a lot of children, I think you let the other children bring them up more and you just sort of step in and do stuff like every now and again.

The most important thing that parents can teach their children is how to get along without them.

Children who are treated as if they are uneducable almost invariably become uneducable.

Absolutely the worst thing about this job is the travel and being away from family. I have a wife and three wonderful children, the kids are all active in sports and it's very difficult to up and leave and miss them growing up.

I wasn't very good about juggling family and my career. I was interested in who was coming to the children's birthday party, what my son was writing. I was thinking about Legos.
