Now that it's "back to school" for kids, packing lunches is a daily ritual. Research indicates that kids tend to eat only half their lunch. Unfortunately, the half they eat is the less-healthy half. So what to do?

When I speak on dating, one of the most frequently asked questions is, "How far is too far?" In other words, how physical can I get with my date and still be obedient to God?
