Good Morning, God
Lord, sometimes on Friday evening, a voice comes on the radio and asks the question “it’s 10:00p.m – do you know where your children are?” or “it’s 11:00p.m – do you know where your children are?” This question, because it is not often asked so publicly, causes us to pause as parents and ask ourselves if we do know where our children are or, it causes us as young people to pause and ask ourselves if we want our parents to know where we are!
As the headlines this week have told us that the Greater Jasper School Board has approved a set of strict drug and alcohol policies because of a student survey that showed a higher-than-normal abuse of substances, we might want to take seriously the question posed by the radio announcer: “Do you know where your children are. Guide us as parents, Lord to getting our young people to be in appropriate places on, especially Friday and Saturday nights. And guide us as young people, Lord, to being in appropriate places on Friday and Saturday nights . . . and doing the right things.
In Jesus’ name, Amen
