My granddaughter began her second grade journey just a few days ago. I thought about her all day on Wednesday, the first day of school, and hoped she was enjoying her new school and beginning to make a new friend or two. I learned later that night that she didn't much enjoy the first day, probably due to being painfully shy and being unfamiliar with her surroundings. By Friday, though, she was enjoying school.
With each passing school year, my granddaughter (and other children) will be methodically gaining and storing knowledge. Sadly, though, they'll also be losing more and more of their precious innocense. With all the peer pressure, puberty and temptations facing our nation's youth, I really wish God hadn't been expelled from our schools. I fear for my grandchildren and for their children as God is pushed further and further away and an "anything goes" lifestyle becomes more and more the norm.
And while I'm in a fearful mode just now, I truly fear for America. Our children are our future. If they grow up to be immoral drones, how will our country fare under their leadership? Speaking of leadership--we don't have much now, at least not the right kind. Okay, enough of that for one night.
Til next time...
