Aiming Our Teen Arrows

Talk with your Teen about 2010
January 07th, 201002:16 PM ETBy Ann DunaganAs we train our teenagers, we need to aim them toward the bulls-eye of God's destiny.

That question creates a void, especially during adolescence. And that question is, "Why was I abandoned by my birth-mother?" Here's an interesting statistic...over 40% of our teen residents at Heartlight, our ... -
