I am now a simple Grandpa who's life is made richer as each grandchild is born. My wife and I have raised five children and the 30 year love labor of raising them has begun to yield sweet fruit..... And then there are fruits of 30 years in ministry ... I am a satisfied old man full of the joy of the Lord.

Adulthood

I just wanted to add a comment about the recent Supreme Court ruling on the death sentence.
It is crafted from the reasoning of Europe and is fabricated out of nothing in our legal history.
I want to remind everybody of the historical roots of our law. It does not come from the tyranny of Europe's past. It comes directly from the Word of God. The truth of Jewish history puts adulthood at the age of 13. Bar Mitzvah. (Or Bas(t) Mitzvah for women)

The frivolity of American culture has set back adulthood and maturity to about 25 for all intents and purposes. People don't finish changing and grow up until about that age. This is a reproach. The bible says that it is "good for a man to bear up the yoke in his youth." We just give them video games and an allowance. But God holds them accountable.
