  What was Jesus willing to give up for us, his friends?
8. Read Prov. 17:17  http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2017:17&version=NLT  How does this help explain the Doug episode?
9. Where would you like to go with your best friend more than anything? Would you give it up if your friend couldn't go?

Note to parents/teachers;
    In this episode we see Doug giving up an incredible opportunity to be a good friend to Skeeter even though he had every right to go. This is true friendship, giving up your rights for others. Jonathan was willing to give up his right to the throne for David. Jesus gave up his own life to save us even though we desperately deserved our punishment. Encourage your kids to be this kind of friend and to seek friends like this. ( A whole other take on this would be fanatacism. They were nuts over the Beets! What are we fanatic over? Is it silly stuff like this or are we Jesus Freaks?)
