All dads dread that moment, I think. But what about the prom and grad ball in high school? What if someone wants to ask her to be his date? What if she wants a particular guy to be her date? I am really curious about a father's perspective.

I'm all for her attending those balls (though I did not attend mine). Anyway it's just a date. Anyway, full disclosure is still my standard. As long as I meet the guy and he seems ok, I will give my permission. The thing is, the more you restrict kids the more they want to do it. So I'd rather just supervise and not appear as the bad guy in any case.

Side Prayers

PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY
Lord Jesus,
Teach me to be generous,
Teach me to serve You as You deserve
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest,
To labor and not to ask for reward,
except that of knowing
That I do Your Holy Will. Amen

THE LAWYER'S PRAYER
May every word I speak be from Your Truth...
I ask come from Your Wisdom...
May every case I handle receive Your Guidance...
May every heart, every life I touch, feel Your Love.

THE JABEZ PRAYER
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your Hand be with me,
that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain."

So God granted him what he requested.
