*Great message.... here's my 2 cents... There are forces at work that convince children that they are the center of the world... we foster care on them and treat them with preference to our own comfort... This sowing of "yur special" sometimes builds walls to re-ality<G> (I had a "special ed" kid tell me it was against the law for me to ask him a "hard question" and he assumed he was above the norm... i.e. "special") Life in the USA has become a playground, and the message of salvation has to breach the media blitz for "coacoa puffs" and "nintendo video" We struggle first to *REACH the children... and do not do a very good job. *More of what I mean.. ---------------------- My childhood would today be considered "poverty" for we had no entertainment center in a "den"... *I played outdoors. My "Leagalistic" heritage spoke out against Movies, TV and theater, and told me that if I acted wrong in the House of GOD... frankly that I had better make my peace- right quick!<G> When "Jiggers Johnson" a Vantriliquest Childrens Minister came.. *It shocked me to transform my church into a "theater"... I had a good time, but *never for got it was "CHURCH"... *Nuff of geezer memories... Today, Kids do not know where they are and what to expect. Everywhere they turn someone is handing them a "Happy Meal" with a free toy... *My opinion is that you put solid food on the table. (Good Job BTW) I don't know what you have to do.. it's a Adult problem.
