Lost Directions: (Unedited): 23 Feb 2013:

Directions can only be given to the lost when the lost first asks. C.J.MacKechnie

===========================
Have you ever approached someone and just began giving them directions? Of course not. A lost person or any person who needs help. Must first ask and be motivated to take corrective actions on their own. You can of course remain close but you cannot do the overwhelming majority of the work. Even to ease their suffering or misery. The difficult and hard work is a part of the lesson. To remove a lesson will interfere with the learning process. Suffering and misery can be a part of their lesson.   But, not to the extreme where the possibility of life is extinguished.

Proven Actions: (Unedited): 03 April 2008:

If you want your child to grow up to be a good person with good characteristics. You must show her/his through your life long positive actions taken. This will be the only proof that will make a said difference in her/his life. Words are empty.
C.J. MacKechnie

=====================
Your actions are the real teaching tool for your own children. The revelation of your misdeeds along with the wisdom and understanding you have learned can be spoken truthfully to your children. These will be long lasting for your children. Assuming you have had made those corrective behaviors. If you are still acting poorly and still under the thumb of sin or addictions. Your words will quench your children's thirst like cool sand in a cool glass offered to them. Yea, did you get that confusing look on your face reading that cool glass full of cool sand.
