#1045: Riptide

How fast can a riptide kill you?Matthew was about to find out.  Caught in a riptide off the coast, he watched the shoreline grow further away as he exhausted himself fighting against the current.  Weak and in despair, he suddenly remembered his training, and swam a short twenty feet out of the current, where he was able to float, recover his strength, and swim back to shore.Today’s toxic culture wants to drag your children far away, and fighting the culture is exhausting and demoralizing.  Give them the tools to recognize the current and swim out of it, and they’ll find an entire ocean ready to explore and adventure in.  You can do it.  It’s a challenging task, and the blessings last forever.For more encouragement and parenting advice, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.
