Parenting with Scripture

After reading "Parenting with Scripture", by Kara Durbin, I decided that I needed my own reference list to post on the refrigerator. I need to be absorbing these scriptures into my heart and mind, so I can use them with my children for discipline and encouragement. I compiled my list from her list, and I'd love to share it with you. If you want a microsoft word copy of the list, please email me. I'll gladly share it with you!
