1. My father was an alcoholic. I remember watching him abuse my mother and other family members. Then I watched him slowly die as his liver gave out. I will never take even one drink.
2. To have lots of choices in what you do with your life, I think it's important to get a college education.
3. Sorry, I'm not going to lend you any money. The last two times I did, you never paid me back. Your excuses didn't make any sense. Sorry.
4. It's a family tradition for us to pray before meals. We have always done it, we will always do it, and when I have a family of my own, you can bet that we'll still be doing it!
5. If you take good care of your car, it will last a lot longer. Just read the maintenance manual!
