***My oldest is 18; hopefully has enough restraint to keep it where it belongs until marriage.***
Must be male :>)
My wife, shortly after we were married, had uterine cancer. We were given one year to have a child, then everything came out. Maybe that is why we work so hard for the children. We have a puppet ministry that we have done since about 1980. That and SS and VBS, and other kid attracting functions have kept us very busy with the children.
Male, yes.
And with enough of his mother in him to still keep me guessing as to how he’s going to turn out.
His five siblings, all much younger, now I have them pegged.
God bless you for your devotion to the kids.
We as a society treat our children abominably. We feed them crap. We have them watch TVs and movies and Internet feeds full of crap. We give them everything except our love and devotion. We sexualize them, and bombard them with things that they shouldn’t understand. We don’t let them grow up naturally.
No wonder the current crop of teens act like they do.
