    JULY 2018 My Favorite Teacher THE MENTORING WHAT PARENTS ARE EXCEPTIONAL Don’t WAIT: GAP: INVESTING IN LOOKING FOR IN A CHILDREN WITH START PREPARING TODAy’S YOUTH CHRISTIAN SCHOOL SPECIAL NEEds: FOR COLLEGE NOW KNOWING THE WARNING SIGNS vantagepoint Education and Evangelism — Blessings in Disguise The story is told of a young man about to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his wealthy father could well afford it, he told him that the sports car was ALL he wanted. As graduation day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautifully wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disap- pointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible with the young man's name embossed in gold. Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, "With all your money, you give me a Bible?" He stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible. Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very old and very ill. The son thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed Leslie N.
