I came across a journal that was about two years old in the trunk of my car. I stated using the unused pages for random notes. However today I came across a journal entry that really made me smile. Sometimes I need to be reminded of certain things. Thought I'd share it with you all. I've tagged some younger friends as well because well it can sometimes help to see the mistakes that other's make to be aware that you don't make the same ones yourself. :)
Titus 2
What Must Be Taught to Various Groups
1You must teach what is in accord with sound doctrine. 2Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance.
3Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. 4Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children, 5to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.
