Archer's door was mostly closed tonight after bedtime - highly unusual. What's he doing? What are you doing, Archer? "Nothing." I need you to tell me the truth, what are you doing? (I can see the glow of a flashlight hiding under the covers.) "Playing with this" he says and reveals the light. I tell him that he needs to always tell me the truth and he asks why. Because God wants us to always tell the truth. "Ok. What verse is it?" Uh oh, now I've gotta back it up. I tell him I'll look it up and let him know in the morning.
So which one do I show him?
LORD, who may dwell in your sacred tent?
Who may live on your holy mountain?
The one whose walk is blameless,
who does what is righteous,
who speaks the truth from their heart...
~ Psalm 15:1-2
Truthful lips endure forever,
but a lying tongue lasts only a moment.
~ Proverbs 12:19
A truthful witness saves lives,
but a false witness is deceitful.
~ Proverbs 14:25
And the list goes on... We may have to spend a week or two on this one!

Haha its not unusual to find him reading! I'm thankful for that and usually just tell him not to stay up too late ;-)
