    Discipline isn’t fun. It isn’t fun to receive it and it isn’t fun to give it out. But the fact is that discipline is necessary. Are you in need of a cleansing today? How will you react when it comes?

As a matter of fact, I didn’t believe it until I had my own kids and used that line on them. Don’t you hate ...read more
