Insight

I found this article to be particularly interesting, with statements like this:

"The collapse of families and communities leaves in its wake unsocialized young people, deprived of parental care, who on average—and yes, there are exceptions—do worse than their peers at school, are more susceptible to drug and alcohol abuse, less likely to find stable employment and more likely to land up in jail.

The truth is, it is not their fault. They are the victims of the tsunami of wishful thinking that washed across the West saying that you can have sex without the responsibility of marriage, children without the responsibility of parenthood, social order without the responsibility of citizenship, liberty without the responsibility of morality and self-esteem without the responsibility of work and earned achievement."

Good thoughts on things from other sources...

Sometimes I just like to get out there in the Bloggernacle as it is called and see what thoughts and things I can find.  I stumbled across these two posts recently and thought they had some interesting insights.

Deacons and the Sacrament


Priesthood Ban


(Note: while these are some interesting thoughts, that does not mean that I fully agree with anything and everything put up by these authors...)
