I stand her amazed. I was watching the Fox News Channel and I was amazed at the stupidity of people. I mean , I could candy coat it, but in actuality and quite simply...people for the most part are stupid. Plain and simple. When I was young, I use to dream about being older and having a family and getting kinda excited about being around mature people. I was under this weird assumption, that when you grew up, you were mature. You behaved in a mature way. You thought mature thoughts. You were grown up. Makes me think of a verse in 1 Corinthians. 13:11  When I was a child , I spake as a child, I understood as a child, but when I became as man, I put away childish things.

Funny, that does not sound like the world today. We have grown people, people that as younger folks we should be able to to look up to, go to for words of wisdom and encouragement. But no, we rarely have such folks around. We stand amazed when we meet such people. And then, I feel robbed. I feel robbed that I can not enjoy the things of life that God had created for us. I feel robbed for my children, I feel robbed as a parent and future grandparent. Here in America of all places. You could see this coming though. I was up late last night. Was not feeling well, so I got up and turned on the tv. Oh good, and old Andy Griffith Show. Hem, well, sure beats all the garbage that is on now a days. Here we are back in 1963, funny stuff, but then, you hear subtle things, like maybe it is wrong to give your little stinker a swat on the toosh for acting ugly, lieing to police officers and ridding your bike on the side walk after being told a few times in one day. Nope, Sheriff Andy Taylor tells the boys paw there is an old fashioned wood shed out back. Wow, that is taking care of things. Done and done. Good show, oh, here comes another Andy Griffith Show. Now this one is in color. Hem...well, that is weird. It is ok to act badly, must of been the parents fault. Oh really? Now it is bad to spank a child. Hem..Oh, and mini skirts ? A pastor does not like the idea, it leads to more and more nakedness. Oh how silly and "old fashion". Children saying yes mam and no mam? Well, apparently 7 years latter it is degrading for a child to say that. Well, show is over, and I am a little disturbed to say the least. So , here we are some 40 years later and girls go beyond wearing a skirt a little above the knee. And how do children talk to adults today ? ! What about boys and grown men wearing there pants off their rear end and showing their boxers.  They got  dressed that way meaning to do that! Oh, and putting medal and ink in and on their body. Sounds kinda sick and cruel. Men.....poor men do not know what roll to play as adults ( yes, what roll to play, not men are men and ladies are ladies) So over the years, we have seen a slow subtle decline, and slowly we have accepted it and now we are faced with, "don't judge me" so now we can't say anything at anyone because we might affend. How very , very sad.

Grown-ups just aren't so grown up. They don't know how to think nor to act. I've often asked "Why is that?" All I can see is that it's just got to be a life lived without the Lord......You're right, we are robbed considering who and what we have to be around. But thank God we do have some choices left, and an eternity.
