You Have to be Carefully Taught

Have you seen those AT&T commercials? The ones with the serious guy asking kids questions?
Their answers crack me up. Kids say the darnedest things.

So, why do they say those things? Good question. Human nature.

We have to be carefully taught.
We have to be carefully and lovingly taught NOT to....
     ....have any other gods but God
     ....misuse God's name
     ....work until we're grumpy, crabby & burned out
     ....dishonor our parents or anyone else in authority
     ....murder
     ....have sex with someone else' spouse
     ....take something that doesn't belong to us
     ....lie or embellish the truth in anyway
     ....want things other people have

This is God's baseline. Try working on this list just for today. After all, we're only kids and we say and do the darnedest things.
