One day a boy was born and the family stood by the bed and said, "Just think, this is America. One day our son could grow up to become president of the United States."But one day that boy stood outside a building in Washington, D.C., waiting for President Reagan to emerge. As the president exited the building, John Hinkley pulled out a pistol and started firing. He did not become president, he tried to assassinate the president. The dream had been destroyed that day for the Hinkley family.Everyone has the potential for good or evil. Following the Lord and His Word leads to a life of blessing to God, to others and to one's own family. Following one's feelings almost always leads to a life that defies God, harms others, and shames one's family. "There is a way that seems right to a man, but the end thereof is way of death."J.
