My wife and I were visiting a church in Georgia. A father with a rebellious 17-year-old daughter and a rebellious 15-year-old son asked to take us to the airport so he could talk to us along the way. During our ride, the man described the problems with his children, how he had tried to deal with them, and that nothing seemed to be working. I asked him, “Do you have a problem with anger?”

Happy Independence Day!
“Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” 2 Corinthians 3:17b
In the 18th century, a Scottish historian observed that democracies were temporary in nature and followed a distinct progression: from bondage to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to great courage; from great courage to liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to selfishness; from selfishness to complacency; from complacency to apathy; from apathy to dependence; from dependence back into bondage. The United States of America seems to be following this progression and is close to being put into bondage once again.

This legislative session was especially difficult due to the change of leadership in our government. We went from having a balance of leadership in our legislature and other statewide offices to, instead, giving control of the legislative and executive branches (as well as a monopoly on every statewide office) to just one party. Bills that I and many others have been fighting back for several years sailed through the legislature with no problem.

Recently, I asked a younger single friend about whether something was appropriate for my daughter. I told her that I had so many things about parenting figured out before I became a mother, and now I needed her untethered wisdom to give me some perspective. I am not sure if she realized I was serious. I was.
