Been Gone But Not Far

I haven't been blogging lately. I suppose that this defeats the whole purpose of blogging. I have been recently blown away by the youth in Saint Cloud and I am sure it is the youth in general all over. Man...they are seeing things and acting out in ways that are far beyond what youth has ever done. It blows me away. We need more people to step up and reach out and do something for these kids. They are hurting but the worst of it all is they have no clue...they think it is all great.

They are learning it at home. It is hard for youth ministers and others who reach out when you are taking one step forward and then two steps back at home. We need God more than ever. People claim that religion is the problem...well...we have removed it from most all public squares for the last 30 years or so...has things gotten better? NO! I realize that some people think it won't get better until all religion is gone completely and then things will get better.

No, I think we can already assess the damage of removing the mentioning of God from schools and such. Why do we need to dig our hole any deeper. By the way...by religion I do mean relationship with Jesus Christ. After all religion simply means to bind together. That's what relationship is.
