This policeman lost his hearing, so we enjoyed a long list of his lively travels and events...sadly, he died. The high school gathering reminded me of our grade-school days and his adoration of my mother as a teacher. The flashback makes me marvel about the world we lost during our youth.
I am not going to imagine how much the youth are changing now. Kindergarten and first-grade are still as vivid now as they were in the 1950s, when the new addition - Garfield - demanded our space. Yes, that is the elementary school that went Condo.
I would not be too hasty in making comparisons between 50 years ago and our present situation. Three couples I know are having babies.
Rather than try the skills of the media, I would rather judge the impact of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The most valuable source is the KJV Bible, Old and New. I have said for decades that we should make the King James the standard of all English Bibles and let the best stick with quality.
I was looking over the Psalms recently and saw immediately how great and powerful they are. This is what I read in places and then worked at learning most of the Psalms. Here are some reasons to put the ribbon in Psalms:
1. The Psalms are ancient, and combine the King David with other sources.
2. Most of the Psalms are rather short, so that is a powerful way to learn the passages and keep them in mind.
3. Starting the Psalms again - or the first time - will find them difficult to stop.
4. Babies love to learn.
