I do agree with what you are saying. I grew up in the same way that A#1 did in
the LA Area. There was alot of things to do as a kid. With the things that
the kids are growing up with today we have a problem trying to keep up with. I
almost wish we could take these kids today on a year long campout. being able
to show them the grace of God.
