The other day a friend of mine was talking about how broken up society is becoming. It seems like less and less people are coming from healthy families and more and more kids are exposed to situations they are unprepared to deal with. Enter trauma, stage left.
Is it the end of the age? Well, I think that so many things in this world are cotradictory. Kids are not fools; they can see that many (most?) Adults are saying one thing and doing another. They see that and want no part of the system.
So why am I surprised? Well I think I am always hopeful, always looking for some sign that people are improving or growing.
The truth is that the one consistency I can expect is Jesus. If I didn't believe it I couldn't have brought children into the world.
About Me
- Christopher
- Salem, Oregon, United States
- I am interested in many things. I am a Christ follower. I am a poet, thinker, amateur scholar, and friend. I would gladly while the hours away discussing a good book, a theological point, or the current state of the union with a good friend and some fine food and finer wine. I refuse to let politicians treat faith and morality as political commodities. I believe that it takes more energy to be offended by someones choices, than to give them a chance. I like broccoli. I hate processed cheese. And yes, it is worth the effort. I enjoy complicated games of chess. Good cheeses and hard breads make me happy. I like Kurt Vonnegut. I play Bass guitar. I enjoy portraiture. I like to get down, I like to boogie. I vote third party. I'm a good listener. . . . . .
