Take Your Kid to Church for Better Grades
A new study suggests that if you want to boost your teenager’s grade point average, you
should take them to church.
If the researchers are to be believed, church attendance has as much effect on a teen’s GPA as whether the parents earned a college degree. Many of the church-going students who participated in the study not only had higher GPAs, but also lower drop-out rates.
Here’s a revolutionary idea: you could also ask your kid to read a book every once in awhile. Remember those? They used to be “all the rage” before a fellow by the name of Philo Farnsworth came around with his newest invention, the television.

Police: Man says he grew pot in a cost-saving move
on his property. When questioned by police, 55-year-old John Daniel Miller III told deputies he knew he’d be caught “sooner or later,” but he was growing the marijuana for his personal use in an effort to save money after a recent price increase for the illegal substance.I’m not surprised. A few years ago, I wanted a Ferrari, but the price was a bit steep at $200,000 dollars. So I stole it and used the other $200,000 to buy a whole bunch of marijuana. You cut costs where you can, especially with the economy with the way it is nowadays.
