Excellent writing.
Well done and well met, bro.
I’m actually writing this to myself, as much as writing to anyone else. :)
My sister observed about her eldest son, a 26 year old who’s still working part time as a barista at Starbucks while he “takes meetings” with potential investors in his silly, shallow movie script, that he spent 3 years in California, living with a bunch of friends who “see nothing wrong with going on unemployment”.
We are in desperate need of people who meet the criteria Laz describes. I wonder how to go about motivating bright but lazy minds to actually READ the foundational documents of faith and nation. Steve Curtis Chapman described it a decade or more ago as “playing Gameboy [while] sittin’ in the middle of the Grand Canyon”. CS Lewis talked about a little boy sitting making mud pies in a slum because he can’t imagine what is meant by a holiday at the shore.
There must be a way. I pledge to seek it and share my suggestions here on FR - they may not be much, but perhaps they’ll spark a mind brighter than mine.
“Lord, heal our land.” My regards and my respect, gentlemen.
