WOW!  What a great article.  Please read it here:  Crosswalk.com – Albert Mohler’s Weblog

Here’s an attention grabber for you:

13-year-olds present an almost unprecedented array of diverse personalities and varying levels of maturity. Just listen to Gibbs’ way of describing this diversity: “Ask 13-year-olds what they want for their birthday, and the answers range from a puppy to a laptop to getting their bellybutton pierced to ‘my girlfriend’s virginity.'” While teenagers delight in shocking and offending their parents, the reality is that many of these teenagers are involved in activities and lifestyles that would truly shock and alarm their parents. Growing up in a culture of overt sexuality and constant erotic stimulation, these children entered puberty just as the society decided to lose its mind over issues of sex.

As our family hurtles at light speed towards the black hole of the teenage years with our children, I continually look for guidance.  We have 5 years to go, but man, oh man, it’s looking threateningly closer every day.

I’m sending this article to all of our friends to read.
