He asked the boys for clues as to why they had ended up in that institution. He then asked them to draw up a code for parents, zeroing in on specific areas where they had failed.
Some of the most successful men and women in history have credited their success to the guidance and prayers of their parents.
With Easter fast approaching many of us are out buying baskets, grass, candy, and all kinds of "goodies" to surprise our kids with on Easter morning!
