It seems like a lot of people pass through a "sins of youth" period in which they chomp down, and get dragged around this way and that way, by every baited hook.

This they think is freedom.

Then, hopefully, something will happen, somebody will say something, and she'll get a glimpse of how sad and disappointing, pointless and stupid it all is. Hopefully, shell realize she has to get straight on the One Thing Necessary, or be torn to pieces by the multiplicity of her desires.

This is a critical time for us to pray for her.

It will take a severe wake-up call, I think.

Nice reference to the parable of the prodigal son (Luke 15:11-32).

I sure don't want to be like the older brother who whined...

Luke 7:41-43

41 "A moneylender had two debtors: one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

42 "When they were unable to repay, he graciously forgave them both. So which of them will love him more?"

43 Simon answered and said, "I suppose the one whom he forgave more."
