Raising Children

   Now this is the commandment, and these are the statutes and 
   judgments which the LORD your God has commanded to teach you, 
   that you may observe them in the land which you are crossing 
   over to possess, that you may fear the LORD your God, to keep 
   all His statutes and His commandments which I command you, you 
   and your son and your grandson, all the days of your life, and 
   that your days may be prolonged. 

   And these words which I command you today shall be in your 
   heart. 

   You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall 
   talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the 
   way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. You shall bind 
   them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets 
   between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of 
   your house and on your gates.

   hell.

   of God?)
