My church runs a parenting center. You are a parent and need help come in and we will try to help you. There are men and women trying to raise their kids on their own that need help. There are married couples that need help. There are elderly parents that need help. Many of them are in situations that are just because life decided to hit them with a bat. But the majority are there because they repeatedly make poor decisions.

I wish that just fifty percent of the ones who create their own problems would smarten up because we are stretched thin. And I don't just mean financially. Yeah we know you are lonely but picking up someone in a bar and bringing them home, letting them stay and then discovering that they smacked your kid after you left for work and they woke up hung over? Ay Caramba! We will listen but the desire to present those people with a clue book that reads "Do not bring your hookups to where your children sleep" is almost overwhelming.

I get frustrated with people who make the same poor life choices over and over. At the same time, I realize some of these people have never had good choices modeled for them. Not for generations. Your church may be the first place they see a positive role-model. That’s how far our society has fallen, sadly.
