What's going on out there?

I have spent about 4 hours just checking out the blogs here. I have found a common theme in many of the blogs. I am amazed at how many 13 - 16 year olds have blogs that talk about how bad their lives are. Words like Pathetic, Boring, Retarted, dull. . . I look back to my teen years and I see good things. Not perfect mind you but good. Perfect is chasing after wind anyway; my perfect is not yours, n'est pas? What could make things so bad? What's going on out there?

I'm a dad. It would rip my heart out to read my kids blog and see these things. I pray that number one I am a better father so that I never hear my kids talk of killing themselves and two that something will happen in the lives of these teens I've been reading about to bring them hope and happiness. During this season a child is born and to us a son is given. . . and he will be called Wonderful counselor. . . May we all find hope and happiness in our souls.

Lord, hear our prayer
