Children learn boundaries properly with correctly administered adult guidance. Being as such, I have a personal theory that the overabundance of kids these days without any sense of what's what, in terms of what the point of their existence is, stems from a serious shortage of adult guidance that is being correctly administered.
This seems self-evident to me, but at the same time I acknowledge the possibility of my being prejudice in this area because as a teenager, I wound up as oblivious to the pure and simple fact that there are things other than finding drugs that should be taken seriously and considered in the big picture, and, in hindsight, at 29 years old, I attribute it to incorrectly administered such and such. My parents should not be blamed; they had to work, and somebody had to watch me. I should also put forth that, based on everything I've come to understand about what I was like as a child from the accounts of the people who took care of me at various times, I was basically impossible to figure out and deal with. So, there's that.

January 28, 2009...okay, so I didn't actually start this until the morning of the 28th. It's this week's thing, though, so, yeah. YES. Ahem
Well, there seems to be some kind of built in mechanism on the healthy functioning human model type example that can detect whether a person is well intentioned towards them or not, and every now and again, it does fail in certain instances, one of mine coming at the crucial time of first being launched out to lead my life independently at the tender age of 18. Through a combination of being innately teachable and loyal, character qualities that had not been instilled in me until only over the course of the preceding year and some months of my life, I got sucked into the wrong thing and ended up believing that, not only was God not actually in me and with me and for me, but that he was harsh and callous, and had a nature that put judgment in a position quite superior to mercy, contrary to scripture.

Starting Monday, January 19th aught nine, and continuing till Sunday for as long as I can stay on a single subject, more or less.
Have you ever tried to get into a room that you were already in? How did that work out for you? It seems to me so prevalent that there is heard all this talk these days of us and all that is within us being, if not altogether evil, then at least base in comparison with the kingdom of God, but here is Jesus saying that within us, that is, inside of the boundaries that compose each of us as individuals...lies all that God is about, ad infinitum.
