What I Want My Boys to Learn

I just caught a snippet of a Tim Russert interview with Justice Scalia, and he had this quote from his dad (a professor and intellectual):
"Brains are like muscles - you can hire them by the hour. The only thing that's not for sale is your character."
Husband and I put too much emphasis on smart = good. I want to make an effort to focus more on character and (a little) less on intellect.

    Amen, friend! Smart = good in my house, too, which produced a lot of good students, but my character was a little wanting. Praise Christ for grace and transformation!! I love that you're making character a priority!!
