Priorities

I often wonder where people learn how to set priorities. I haven't figured out an answer to this. Sometimes I think it is learned from parents but then I see teens who don't have priorities that are close to there parents. Then I think that maybe it is culture that tells us how to set or priorities. But, then I see teens and adults who fly in the face of the priorities that culture sets.

So what has influenced your priorities? parents, culture, personal Bible study, friends?

Winter Jam

Tonight we are taking the teens to Winter Jam. We went two years ago and had a blast. I am expecting to have a great time tonight as well. I am really looking forward to seeing and hearing Third Day live. Third Day has been one of my favorite bands since their first CD came out a "few" years ago. I have never seen them live in concert but I am ready. The line up looks great Third Day, Newsboys, NewSong, Tenth Avenue North, Fireflight, Sidewalk Prophets, Robert Pierre, Revive & Guest Speaker Tony Nolan.
