I watched Ella enchanted with my son tonight. It was so weird. I teach my son that he needs to obey me because that's what God says. I do believe we need to obey God, but we shouldn't obey what everyone says to us. It made me think. It was a fairy tale, but Ella had to obey whatever anyone told her because her fairy god-mother gave her the gift of obedience. It was funny but it made me think about my own life and wonder about stuff-including ubf where I was supposed to obey and not really think.
It's very interesting. I'm beginning to work in the public school system and the kids often are wild. They need rules and they need discipline and to be honest, I think they want it. It's a lot to think about-discipline, love, obedience.
