What makes a great parent?  Well, I'm still trying to figure that out. Scott Linscott's got some great advice on what parents should do if they don't want to be a great parent, specifically as it relates to helping their kids follow Jesus.  This is a great tongue-in-cheek post by Scott Linscott on "Keys to Making Your Kids Apathetic About Faith."
