The past few weeks, even more really-I have been in a position to be among young people while they interact with each other. To a point, my daughter and her friends and moreover, just young people in general. At the mall, I overheard a group talking about one girl who wanted to fight another girl, with choice names involved. The young men discussing the situation said that they would get their mom to kick her arse! Since these people were in their twenties, evidently the arse kicking Mum would be at least forty. Yikes! At the subway sandwich place where four young people were working, the kids were talking of their drinking times and then were about to start speaking of "other good times", looked up at me, and said they would talk about it later. Everywhere we go, from Disneyland to the grocery store, there are lots of mammary glands bouncing freely and large rolls of tummy tire don't prevent belly shirts. It seems when I was a young girl in my early twenties we did a certain amount of partying too. Where I lived was a wild and woolly wilderness area so Fri. and Sat. nights were given over to dancing and drinking at the local bars. It really could have easily become a lifestyle, but did not. The reason for this post is simply that the Lord showed me this week to focus on prayer for youth. Such temptation they face, even for those who know the way and choose to do right. They have exuberance and energy and are still learning who they are and care about how their peers perceive them. It seems as if the situation is tantamount to putting chocolate in front of a chocoholic. It comes at them from every direction. The world and all it's trappings are indeed a trap and even the wary may stumble and trip. Please join me Saints, today, in lifting up the standard of the Lord, and praying for the young people in our nation. If we don't do it, it won't get done. There are some of these young people no-one is praying for. God bless you this day. Rhonda From one bride to another, God keep you, bless you, increase you, Rhonda
