Cruise
Kids to Live 'Far and Away' - Fox News
Cruise, whose character became similarly disillusioned
with America in Born on the Fourth of July, said raising children in
the U.S. is a risky business. He said he could no longer keep his 'eyes
wide shut' to America's terrorism threat, crime, faltering financial
status and corporate corruption.
Note: The
questions are not numbered so you won't feel obligated to ask them
in order. Read all of the questions first to see how you want this
dialogue to go.
- Does Tom Cruise still have you at hello? Do you agree with him that
this country is playing "Taps" in these "Days of Thunder"
over the "Color of Money" from "The Firm"?
- Just days before we celebrate the birth of the greatest nation
on God's green earth, Tom Cruise says it's a terrible place to raise
kids. What do you think about raising kids in America?
- Sometimes we learn life's lessons the best from negative examples.
What lessons have you learned from the Enron scandal, the "faltering
economy", crime that you see on the news or maybe even where
you live, even from the terrorist attacks and the threat of them on
the 4th?
- What scriptures come to mind?
Proverbs 22:6; Deuteronomy 4:9-10;
11:19; Psalm 78:4; Ephesians 6:4
Use the Bible tool at the bottom of this
page to find more scripture regarding these issues.
