Great Book!

If you haven't read this, you may want to add it to your reading list. I think every Christian needs to be equipped to understand younger Christians so that we can be prepared to mentor them. This text is very helpful to me in understanding how differently our young people act from when I was considered a young person.

Sunday night with our senior high youth, I tried some things out. We rearranged the worship center and set up some candles, dimmed the lights, and had a prayer station. Our Bible study was about how our relationship with our parents can mirror and effect our relationship to our heavenly Father. The youth really seemed to enjoy our time of contemplation and introspection. One 9th grade girl texted me later that evening that the experience was "relaxing and serene."

Imagine that. In my day, we wanted to party. In this day and age, our kids are suffering from sensory overload. Time to sit quietly, listen, meditate, and reflect were a blessing to this young woman. Times are changing. I am challenged to keep up with it...for the Kingdom's sake!
