The doctor then asked the 5-year- old boy what he thought of his new, little brother. “Spank him again,” replied the little boy. “He shouldn’t have crawled in there in the first place.” Often, because of a deci- sion we make or an action we take, we find ourselves in serious trouble. It is during these times that I wonder if God looks at us and thinks, “They shouldn’t have crawled in there in the first place.” However, to keep us from crawling into places we do not need to be, God gave us an instruction manual that leads us toward what is right and steers us away from what is wrong. That instruc- tion manual is the Bible, God’s holy word. The Bible not only teaches us how to live a joyful life, it also teaches us how to avoid trouble, as well. In many passages of the Bible, one will find individual instructions or entire lists of things from which we must keep away in order to live the greatest life possible. Consider Paul’s warning in Galatians 5:19-21. He

Allergies In many areas, seasonal allergies are another challenge for parents to contend with in regard to outdoor play. Experts say, in addition to any allergy med- ications recommended by your pediatrician, there are steps you can take to help allergic kids enjoy the outdoors. Encourage kids to go outside in the early morning and evening when pollen counts are lower. Cool shades or sunglasses can prevent aller- gens from entering their eyes. Have them shower and wash their hair once they come back in. “Kids should get at least 60 minutes of exercise every day, and it’s great if they can do so outside for the fresh air and more room to play,” said Dr. Jennifer Shu, a pediatrician and author of Heading Home with Your Newborn.
