Hello May Monday! Mother’s Day this coming Sunday!
1. Question – How have you used fear as a discipline
in your relationships?
2. Thought – Joshua Wooden was a disciplinarian, but
not from a physical point of view. I’d almost rather
have taken a whipping than hear him say he was
disappointed in something I’d done.
I wanted to please him and not let him down with my
behavior. It wasn’t a fear of punishment that
motivated me. It was my desire to live up to his model and
expectations. Later, as a teacher, I wanted those under my
supervision to be motivated in the same way, to strive to
be their best because I believed in them rather than from
any fear of punishment. (Wooden, Coach John Wooden with
Steve Jamison)
“It is the Lord your God you shall fear.”
(Moses/ Deuteronomy 6:13)
