More than 12 may be approaching too many depending on hoew much time you have. Birth control is good but if you overdue it and don't have any you're cheating yourself and the Christian community. BETTER TO LIVE IN A TRAILER PARK and have your wife stay at home and provide for your wife and kids than to live in a well to do neighborhood and have the wife work and have others bring up your children.<BR/>Spend time with your children individually.. Honeymoon money could be better used after you become really good friends. Love wife as Christ loves church.. - Dr. Graff in a Circuits 2 devo on April 3, 2008<BR/><BR/>I don't want raise fruit but an orchard -- Mike farris (ask anna for exact quote)<BR/><BR/>Children have their core values set by the time they are 13. - George Barna<BR/><BR/>Mothers and fathers are VERY influential!<BR/><BR/>I've VERY thankful to both my parents for all the time and energy they have poured into our family.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for posting this Anna!Elijah Lofgrenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01199585639295062109noreply@blogger.com
