What, my son? Fifth Grade edition.

Do not remove the ancient landmark, which our fathers have set? Pr. 22:28
When life gives you brothers...make a ruckus? that seems the heritage that Teddy Roosevelt and Taft left for us nationally...but, personally, now.
What is the matter? This morning it was the want of a juicy. It doesn't taste like it used to taste. I am thirsty for something and this sweetness is not satisfying me. O dear boy, a healthy dose of Proverbs 31 for you. We do go through seasons of "senioritis" the lot of us. I don't know what I like anymore. I don't know how to act like a middleschooler. I am afraid of the future and sick of the present. If I could look at a tv show that would show me where I am going I would feel comfortable. For now, all of these people around me and I am the only one feeling like I feel is the loneliest sense that there can be. I hear you crying out for direction and focus. I hear your spotlight no longer being the motivation of your life. I see you no longer a baby and yet can't enter into your elder brother's comradery, either. The answer is not in the Wii. That is certain. David found the answer in seeking the comradery of the Lord. Psalm 23 and Proverbs 31. Don't miss how God can show himself dearer and more attentive than 8 or 100 or more older brothers who have your back. You can know that dearness. It comes out of the want of more. Let that insatiable thirst drive you to Jesus!
