We're in a series called Broken, Reparing the Family.

I preached two weeks ago on Happy Wife, Happy Life,

and last weekend on Happy Husband, Happy Home.

This week, I'm in. I wouldn't say it to last. This weekend. Amen.

I wouldn't say it too loud.

You may not be happy when you get home.

So this weekend is Happy Child, Happy House.

Happy House.

Happy House. child happy house and I bounce these titles sometimes off my family to see if I can

get a better creative more more creative title so people can remember the message and when I

did my daughter Elaine said it kind of sounds like the child rules the house and I

said well actually a disobedient child does.

You think about it, a disobedient child can affect the atmosphere of a home.

A disobedient child can affect the atmosphere of a home. A a disobedient child can affect the atmosphere of a restaurant.

Is that right?

This last Tuesday I flew to Houston in the morning to do some television taping with Joel Ostein and I was in the airport getting ready to take off and had a few moments and was in a restaurant and there was this child you know and and the mother kept

saying you want a timeout because you'll get a timeout young lady you hear me you want a

time out I'll get you I'll give you a time out if you want a timeout I'll give you

it ruined the dining experience of everyone in the restaurant.

And by the way, I understand, let me just say this, when I was growing up and when we raised

our children, we didn't give timeouts.

And I can't find timeouts in the Bible.
