 When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support,  to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are.  They are there for the reason you need them to be.  Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.  Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.  Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.  What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done.  The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.  

There are many different responses to crisis. Most survivors have intense feelings after a traumatic event but recover from the trauma; others have more difficulty recovering — especially those who have had previous traumatic experiences, who are faced with ongoing stress, or who lack support from friends and family — and will need additional help.

Parent—Teen Covenant: Avoid the dangers of driving distractions

Parent—Teen Covenant

Dear Parent,

You can help your teen avoid the dangers of driving distractions by setting forth the rules of the road before turning over the car keys.

Cingular Wireless has created the following Be Sensible safety tips especially for teen drivers, with technical assistance from: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the Driving School Association of the Americas (DSAA), and the American Driver and Traffic Safety Education Association (ADTSEA).

Please review these tips with your teen, and then ask your teen to sign the covenant below.

Be Sensible safety tips for teen drivers:

Ask passengers to help by changing the CD or radio station, placing a cell phone call, or reading directions to you.

If you don’t have a passenger, wait until you come to a complete stop at a red light or stop sign before changing the CD or radio station.

If you need to make or take a call, wait until your trip is complete and your car is safely stopped.

Never use your phone to take pictures, send and read messages, record video, or watch TV while driving.

It’s best not to eat and drive at the same time.
If you’re traveling with someone, take turns driving while the passenger eats.

Avoid stressful or emotional conversations with passengers while driving.

Don’t be a “rubbernecker.” Let your passengers do the sightseeing while you drive.

Make safety your most important call. In the case of an emergency, a cell phone can be a very useful tool. Remember, dialing 911 is always a free call.

Be Sensible Covenant:

I have reviewed the tips above and I pledge to Be Sensible while driving.
