Dialogue by:

 The Snoop Next Door
-
Wall Street Journal
Cut someone off in traffic? Steal your neighbor's newspaper?
Someone may be watching you, and holding you accountable for your actions
via web cams and blog sites. Is this the 21st century way of being our
brother's keeper?
- What do internet snoops avoid when they take their concerns and complaints to the web?
(hint: courage is avoided - lead them to this, do not answer for everyone)
What would they be afraid of? Is this a legitimate fear?
- Is this the best way to hold people accountable for their actions? Explain; when would it be a good thing and when would it be overkill? How does the punishment fit or not fit the crime?
- Can there be confrontation without anger and humiliation? Explain why or why not. What does it mean to speak the truth in love?
- See Matthew 5: 23-24 and Matthew 18: 15-16. How are Christians directed to
deal with issues involving others?
- See 1 Peter 1:22-23 and 1 Peter 4: 8. Should we be about our neighbor's business?

How do you define success for your child? "Graduates from a prestigious college." "Nabs a high-paying job." "Settles down with a nice family." Sounds good. But what if you got it all wrong?
What about greatness? Where does it fit in? "If you aim your children at anything less than greatness, you'll set them up to miss the whole point of their lives," says author Tim Kimmel. In Raising Kids for True Greatness, Kimmel turns the definition of success on its head and guides you in preparing your child for a life that will easily eclipse the goals of those who are merely successful.
