I am just an 'old' man, white hair, exuding all the signs of old age, including loss of memory (not only short term but intermittant long term and various other categories which I cannot recall at this time) but as I read the Word, I lean on such scriptures as Ps 111:10 where it shares that "Fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom." Possibly we need to consider putting God back into the picture rather than remove Him. I am convinced that God is a better source to give the answers of the future than all of the prognosticators combined. <br /><br />Your blog is right on course.

Maybe I tend to look at the glass as being half full, but I really do believe the pendulum is shifting back toward more wisdom. There are many parents, like myself, who have learned the lessons of the last thirty years and we are raising a new generation to value wisdom more than popular notions. My girls, at 8 and 5, are infinitely more aware, and I believe wise, than I was at their age. At some point in the future, dark times will come. We need to be aware when it happens, but we don't need to expect it in a way that keeps us from shining the light.<br /><br />BTW, I love your blog.David M.
