You know, I realize that our family is not the norm...... for one thing, our children grew up in a home with two married parents who actually conceived and gave birth to them (Well, we both conceived them, but I was the one who gave birth......mr.ohio was very helpful, but I'm not going to give him credit for it!).
BUT.....there are lots more teens and twenty somethings out there who are doing great things for the Lord. There are many involved in missions and service projects, and in meaningful ministries through churches and schools. The future is not as bleak as some would have us believe, but we sure need to pray for young people. It's a blatantly sinful world out there, and it's tough to be a Christian when you're faced with the amoral culture we've got now.
I give Xlinton a great deal of 'credit' for the moral mess we're in. He didn't start it, but he sure gave it a giant shove in his 8 evil years as president.
It's only 16 days now until we see him again. Thank you, Lord! This is really hard.........really hard.
