over lunch yesterday, a good friend and i were discussing the next generation and the attitude and behavior of most kids these days. it's easy to get discouraged and/or lay blame on society and the encroaching, pervading media for the selfishness and disrespect that seems to prevail among children as a whole. however, it just makes even more urgent the need to reach individuals at a young age with the gospel - such that, even if they do choose to make wrong turns somewhere along the way, they will have a standard to turn back to, truths from His Word that hopefully will guide them back into the light. certainly, we must focus on communicating clearly to them that they need to abide by and have faith in Proverbs 3:5-6:

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

those who are prayer warriors, help please! for years there's been a lack of opportunity, but now they seem to be coming in all (okay, just three, but still!) directions. it's made for a very confusing thought process, especially as i think much can be learned from each, and yet i must choose. God doesn't seem to be saying a hard "NO" to any, which leaves the choice even more open. any insights, my brothers and sisters?
