PUs

For those who are curious, PU is a term for Parental Unit. And no, it's not an actual term. I think my sister invented it at one point when speaking to others, as a way of saying she needed parental permission. (Something like... "I need to ask my PUs first").

Which leads me into what I have been thinking about. How important is it to follow our parents religiously? Exodus 20:12 clearly states that. But to what extent?

I mean, it is relatively clear that we should honour our parents when possible. However... should we listen when they ask us to falsify about our age to get a cheaper fee? To tell someone a lie about the parents' whereabouts? To refuse to help someone?

And then, of course, there's always the question between our wills, our parents' wills, and God's will. Clearly, one should be followed. But how do we approach this?

At the same time, this makes it too easy to disobey our parents and to go our own way. Just throw in that excuse, and voila!

Anyway, just a short blurb. Just in my head right now, making me think...
