Yep... I feel much the same of all you wrote. Unfortunately I teach high school in a low socio economic area to kids with (don't look too surprised) behavior disorders.

I am the parent of awesome kids who grew up with a sound faith filled home but I see a lot of parents not home mentally...and physically. While that has been a problem for generations in our society...there was at least a basic moral that emanated through our culture...now that is going too and too many of us are letting the evil permeate in.

In my classroom when we say the pledge and then there is a "moment of silence' (instead of prayer-dont get me started on that one!) I tell my students I am praying for them. Of course they roll their eyes...but sometimes they smile. Its worth the chance I figure.

But I still compete daily with "slipknot" and "Resident Evil" "Hellboy" and the like...sigh! arrrgh!
