i just saw an anomalous blip on the stats for this blog. so, i thought maybe i should say something to welcome the new (and re-welcome the old) visitors to this site. i also read over some of my old posts here and i see that this blog is as much for me as for anyone else. we need to be reminded from time to time of where god has taken us and who and what things, circumstances, events, etc. were present in our lives to point out north in times of dense cloud cover. just this morning i’ve been reminded of authors, movies, articles, conversations, comments from you, and other things that have been my compass at different times. so this is why people journal–i never took much to journaling.
i was talking with m last night and wondering, how are we going to protect our children? i know that with my upbringing, desires, personality, etc., if i were about 14 right now i’d be done, surrendered, given over to an addiction so easily nurtured through available technology–i cringe at the thought. yes, there are practical things we can set up but we can’t control access forever. talking about it (which should be really fun), recognizing it instead of being in denial, staying in tune with culture, keeping open lines of communication (established at an early age) will all be important. but ultimately it’s about a faith that god can and will do something miraculous in their lives. i hope it’s more than enough, but the me of little faith thinks it might not be.
do parents of all generations think that god might not be big enough for their kids’ generation?
