A veteran central New Jersey high school football coach has resigned after being told by school officials he could no longer lead his team in pregame prayer.

your team in prayer before a game day meal? What does it communicate
if you do not quit and honor the officials' decision?
- Come up with a list of pros and cons to resigning/quitting.
Based on what you come up with, what would be the best action
to take in this situation? What if this was your coach, what would
you do? Would you step up and lead prayer? Why or why not?
- How is this situation different than what Daniel went through?

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.
