The determining factor for students is often "will I get caught" and not "is this right or wrong." What they fail to recognize is that there is a consequence regardless of whether or not they are caught. A couple years ago I read Andy Stanley's book, Up to You: It's Your Life, Choose Wisely (The student version of The Best Question Ever). The book was based on Ephesians 5:15 - "Be very careful then how you live, not as unwise but as wise." The question Stanley asks is, "What is the wise thing for me to do, in light of my past experience, my present circumstances, and my future hopes and dreams? Really, this is a great reminder for people of any age that God desires for us to live wisely...and with integrity! Bambi, you and Sally are right.

I miss you in person, but the humor still comes thru in blogeze;) And as for the integrity issue, getting caught does seem to be the main deterent.... something to think about. I certainly hope that we can teach our kids different. Saw a sign the other day at the Y that said something to the effect of "If you cheat your kids will notice, if you lie your kids will lie too." Convicting as a parent. Hey there,
