Good Fences define the property lines of our life. What is me and what is not me? When can I say no? When should I say yes?
Tim leads the discussion in this entry, talking about the problems that are common when trying to establish boundaries. He then begins looking at the Ten Laws of Fences.
This teaching arc is based on the book “Boundaries”, by Dr. Cloud and Dr. Townsend, and is supplemented by their other books, Boundaries in Marriage, Boundaries for Teens, and Boundaries for Kids.

Listen to the January 3rd class
We begin our new series on Good Fences: Keeping the Crazies Out, Letting the Friendlies In.
Tim describes the nature of fences, why we need them, and what kinds of things serve as fences in our lives.
Does it ever seem like someone left the door to your life open and a bunch of craziness came in? Do you ever wonder if you’re saying yes to something you should refuse – or saying no when you should say yes? Does it ever feel like other people have more control of your life than you do?
Join us beginning January 3, 2010 as we begin a new subject – Good Fences: Keeping the Crazies Out, Letting the Friendlies In.
Good fences don’t only make good neighbors, they make good parents, good spouses, and good friends.
We will focus on the choices and decisions that need to be made to make our relationships healthy and loving. We will discuss when it’s okay to say no – and when we should say yes. We will explore the impact these choices have on all the relationships we experience.
We hope you join us in person to enjoy the camaraderie of class time. If you can’t make it, the class will be podcast here each week, and you can join the conversation online. You can also submit your comments and questions to our Facebook page.
We look forward to seeing and hearing from you!
