We should have listened to our parents more when we were kids. I mean, after all, they really are trying to teach us how to live our lives right. We don’t always see it that way as kids and our parents are the meanest creatures on the planet (something I am learning from my own 6 year old daughter). ‘Don’t run with scissors’ and ‘Eat your vegetables’ are just a couple of things your mom tried to teach you. Lessons is filled with little tidbits we all have heard and we all really know down deep inside but it is a healthy reminder to help us recall the things our parents have taught us.
In his book,Lessons from a Mama’s Boy, Scott takes a much deeper look into the real life lessons our parents are trying to transfer to us to help us become successful in business, relationships and life in general. Our parents really are our biggest fans and they support us no matter where we are in life. The Bible tells us in Exodus 20:12 to “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.” God gives us a promise of long life if we will honor our parents; the first commandment with a promise. So, whether you are 8 or 80 or any where in between, if your parents are still around, show them how much you honor and respect them for taking the time to teach you lifes lessons. Perhaps one or both of your parents have gone on to be with the Lord and you never really showed them honor; you can still ask for God’s fogiveness and begin to teach your children so that they understand the benefit of honoring THEIR parents.
Scott, thanks for sharing your mom and her lessons with us. Your presentation and your book are wonderful. For those of you needing a speaker, I highly recommend that you give Scott a call. Or, if you are just looking for a good read, pick up a copy of Lessons from a Mama’s Boy. I am sure you will find his thoughts very enlightening, just as I did. This one definitely makes my 2009 reading list.
I enjoy what you guys tend to be up too. This type of clever work and exposure! Keep up the wonderful works guys I’ve included you guys to blogroll.
Hi! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog. Is it hard to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast. I’m thinking about setting up my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any tips or suggestions? Thanks

One other issue issue is that video games can be serious anyway with the most important focus on learning rather than leisure. Although, we have an entertainment facet to keep your sons or daughters engaged, every single game is usually designed to focus on a specific expertise or area, such as mathematics or scientific research. Thanks for your publication.
Thanks for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbor were just preparing to do some research about this. We got a grab a book from our area library but I think I learned more from this post. I’m very glad to see such great info being shared freely out there.
