Yes, I'm sadly aware that I'm not alone in this. In fact, this has spurred me to pray more for the other prodigals I've known. Joel Mark - Yes, I did see that. Thank you for your response.

TIME Magazine has an article this week about how schalors are now saying in order to really understand Jesus you have to understand His Jewishness. Can we welcome these schalors onto the boat that sailed long ago? It's like the Jesus seminar spending three intesive days together to come up with the profound statement . . . wait for it . . . "Jesus was a poor, itinerant preacher." Yep, figured that one out the first time I read the gospels. I think this kind of schalorship comes from those who are just newly aware of a subject and don't really bother to read those who have gone before. It is like the grand scientific study they did to determine that pregnant women get moody. Really? None of those scientists must have a) ever been pregnant themselves, or b) never been married to a pregnant woman:) This just in . . .

I'm watching both of my sons make choices that I would not make. I know that they will come to regret those choices, but I cannot make their choices for them anymore. Both are of legal age, and they must make their own way now. I worry about them at times. I can't spend all my time doing that, but it sure is hard to watch... Mumsee,

You probably already know this but it does not hurt to be reminded. KI already mentioned it, but you are not alone! Many of us did what we did to raise up our children in Him only to find them doing things totally contrary to their training. I have one there now, the oldest. I can blame it on my faulty rearing abilities, or the school he went to, or any number of things. But the decisions are his to make and I have to trust the One Who loaned him to me. His plan for older son evidently includes letting older son have some less than best in his life, probably so he will be better able to help others when he comes back. I am confident that He knows what He is doing, though it breaks my heart to watch son make foolish decisions and hurt himself (if only he would listen to his mother!) But the fact of it is, he must learn for himself and we must pray, letting God do the persuading. And, as you know, parents don't listen to their grown kids all that well. Anyway, I have been thinking of you and praying for you throughout the day. Karen O,
