Looking For Guidance

There was a strange story over the weekend of a father who dared to discipline his teenage son for using drugs. Dad decided the offense was sufficiently serious to sell off the boy’s video game, “Guitar Hero III,” which is a hot Christmas gift idea and flying off the store shelves.

When he saw the reason for the sale of the item, one E-Bay shopper decided the cause was a worthy one, and bought the game for over $9,000.

Now, what will Dad do with that money…maybe invest in some time away with his son, talking about the dangers of drug use? I hope so.

And will that son be looking at his father’s actions, seeking some guidance? I suspect he is watching with care.

Full story here.
