Chapter 9

This chapter really opened my eyes to some of the worldly methods I had been using unknowingly. When using some of these wordly methods I have even thought of myself as being patient with Jackson, but I was actually robbing him of the discipline he so despirately longs for. I think I'm getting the hang of probing the heart and being pretty consistant in discipline. The author discussed expecting obedience immediately every single time the parent speaks and if there is delay in obedience the rod should be administered every time. I'm wondering if anyone finds this just a little bit extreme? And where should that consistant line be? I don't think I should have to repeat myself, but should a spanking be in order anytime I do have to repeat myself or just reminders to be obedient. And how many reminders do you give before you do use the rod? Just a few things I'm trying to sort out for myself...any thoughts?

I will get back to postings!

I will get back to doing postings next week and finish out the book before Christmas hopefully. We have had a crazy couple of weeks, but I am hoping it will settle down next week.
