I'm an old sinner saved by the grace of God, thank goodness. But I'm certainly not an angel and never have been; although, at times I've tried. And I'm not a prude by anyone's standards, but I'm with you sister, they just keep testing the systems slipping in a little more all the time. And sadly, it's gotten to the point where nothing is fit to watch or listen to on television, radio, movies, or even on children's games. Thanks for sharing.

Lol. We're all sinners saved by God's love and mercy, so you're definately not alone there! It is getting out of hand culturally, though. We're definately going down that slippery slope...
But God is still God and nothing is a surprise to Him. (I'm not sure it doesn't shock Him just a bit, though... lol)
Thanks for reading and leaving a comment,
Blessings,
Deb

Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us. A few years ago, my dad and I had a conservation that fits perfectly with your author's notes. I was complaining about how far from morality society has gotten. Dad said, 'Every generation complains about the future generation.' He was right, but my answer was, 'But Dad, at what point does it stop?' He didn't have an answer. I'm with you. I'm a prude and proud of it. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us. Good luck with the contest.

Thank you, Barbara! Your review is very kind. I'm sure your dad was right, but you were right, as well. I'm not sure how much worse it can get! Some of the stuff my daughter allows my grandkids to listen to and watch are things I won't participate in. They are at least respectful enough to tone it down when I'm around but it makes me wonder (and worry a bit) about how bad it is when I'm not around. *sigh* It's just such a big job to fight the culture. But God is still God. He is still gracious and loving and merciful. All I can do is pray.
Blessings, hugs, and thank you again,
Deb

The culture continues to move away from God. That's not good. Many young children or older children have no idea who God is because they're being raised in unGodly homes.

We are definately post-Christian in this country. It breaks my heart. It's my generation that really dropped the ball... Or threw it as hard and far as we could. I know that my grandkids have been exposed to God and Christ but that doesn't guarantee anything. It's a frightening knowledge. But, again, I can pray. And I do. I hope I do it often enough, still knowing God is in control. And they all must make their own decision about their spiritual life, so... It's hard.

Yes, God is in control. I pray daily that our society and the world will turn closer to God. I feel that's the only option for getting out of the mess we're in.
