Reply to "How True!"

Born in 1964 too... If anyone should have died it should have been me! I'm sure that building a jump for our bikes on the bottom of a hill would kill kids today...Running through the woods at 10 with my friends, the only surfing I did was on a skateboard, Interwhat? Computer? Nobody could afford a computer, besides, you need another house to put it in. Don't get me started on TV...The only cartoons we ever watched were on Saturday Morning, no Nick, Cartoon Network, etc...No need for a V-Chip in the tv because there are partialy or fully naked people on at prime time... There are things from our childhood that we did that we wouldn't DREAM of letting our kids do today....Things that they do that we freak out about all the while knowing it is tame compared to what we did. Yet there is so much greater trouble for them to get in.
I can be greatful that my daughter looks forward to spending time with me, she looks forward to going to church, she loves the Lord, she is respectful (yet still has a sneaky and bratty side) .

We can only hope and pray that we teach our children as well as our parents taught us because if the direction things in the world are going keeps up, it is scary to think of our kids looking back and thinking that what went on in there childhood was tame...
