Debbie, I’m appreciating your comments this morning.  Being in the world but not of it is sometimes challenging.  How much do we want to partake of it w/o being overtaken by it? My two sons are grown.  My step-children, not here with us often enough, live with their biological mother and stepfather in another state and are being raised in a faith and situation which we do not approve of.  That is painful, but we pour Jesus and His Word into them whenever they are with us, and they are very receptive by God’s grace.  We have a wonderful relationship with them.   The grandchildren, ages 6 and under, are being homeschooled.  They do not have cable TV or worldly media in their home.   They watch Christian videos or G rated secular movies and listen to Christian music only.  Their friends are all church or homeschool related, with parents who are familiar with the family.  They are wonderful, smart children with rich lives in spite of what the naysayers would think.  The 6 year old reads the Bible better than our teenaged public-school taught children.  She is playing piano and taking ballet lessons. (My son taught himself to play piano after graduating from the AF Academy, and he is teaching her.)  I am thankful they will not have to deal with the stresses of government schools, or even private Christian schools, full of demonized children.  My sons hated the stresses of public schools, but their father wouldn’t allow them any other option.  Oral sex on the school bus is the norm now.  Not something I want my sweet grandchildren to be exposed to, among other things.  Izzy From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Debbie Sawczak Sent: Wednesday, May 11, 2005 6:41 AM To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Subject: Re: [Bulk] Re: [Bulk] [TruthTalk] Proof of Jesus?   ...And (she mused doggedly on) some movies, TV shows, books, etc. out there offer as good a critique of our culture as any delivered by a Christian who set out to do so.

If any of you have mentioned your pre-adult children, I'm sorry I've forgotten!   Debbie
