Strange Days

What are we to make of such days, which seem to have an overabundance of sad, weird, even disturbing stories about family, faith and culture?
- Did you know that nearly 3% of Indonesia’s five- to nine-year-olds are active smokers? Here’s a bizarre story of a chain-smoking toddler in that country.
- Hard to believe, but beloved writer, radio and television host, and all-around good guy Art Linkletter has passed away at age 97. Next week we’ll re-air a presentation from that dear man.
- A second “Sex in the City” film was released to yawns. At least there’s a small bt of common sense and good taste in our society.
- Somehow, the “most popular” news stories includes coverage of Lindsay Lohan’s hair color. OK, so maybe I was wrong about the common sense and good taste? At the best, both of these starlets are a reminder to pray God’s protection for our kids from foolish choices.
- Seems American Idol voters made a surprising – and to many – disappointing choice for this season’s winner. In order to protect my unblemished record intact, I declined watching even one performance on the popular show.
Alright, enough railing against the culture…and back to raising my kids and loving my wife.
