Leaving a Legacy

Helloquence

Do you have a will? You know, the paper that they pull out when you die to see who gets your stuff.

The process of preparing a will is not fun. The lawyer asks you, “If you die who will you give your stuff to?” You say, “Give it to my spouse.” The lawyer quickly responds, “and if your spouse dies who will you give your stuff to?”

This goes on and on until it seems like everyone is dead and you realize the lawyer is just trying to get you to add him into the will! “What if Aunt Bertha dies? And your cranky neighbor? And the postman, then will you finally give me your stuff?

When you write a will you figure out how you are going to leave behind your stuff, but you are more than the sum of your stuff, right?

So let’s write a different kind of will.

What values are you going to leave your teenager?

What will you teach them about what is right and wrong in this world?

What will your teenager know about faith?

bcsm wants to help you leave a rich inheritance to your teenager of the stuff that really matters.

That is why we have put together the Seven Rites of Passage. These Rites of Passage are simply conversational experiences. You can find them here on this site by clicking on "Rites of Passage" in the menu bar up top. We want to help you have the conversations with your teenager that matter the most and give you the tools to infuse faith into the most import moments in life.

Here are the 7 Rites of Passage we are going to encourage you to lead your teenager through:

·       6th Grade – Adolescence

·       7th Grade – A Blessing

·       8th Grade – Sex

·       9th Grade – Family

·       10th Grade – Driving

·       11th Grade – Money

·       12th Grade – Adulthood

The seven Rites of Passage are just a piece of theblope.com a comprehensive online parenting class and library of parenting materials that we are developing based on a resource called ministrytoparents.com. I hope that you will find it extremely helpful and informative as you parent your students.
