		<description>Robert, glad you liked it.  I&#039;m looking forward to next month&#039;s WILF already.  

Online Printing he did write a great post, didn&#039;t he?

Terro, that&#039;s a good point.  However.  (It&#039;s difficult to make this short enough for a comment, but here goes.)  The older I get the more I am noticing how easily (and rashly)  the young pass judgment on older people.  While I agree that there is much to be done to energize the church as a body, it&#039;s also true that younger people can look at mature more settled people and think they&#039;re not doing anything.  Sometimes when we&#039;re young we think that everyone has to be doing the same things as we are in order to be &quot;doing it right&quot;.  I&#039;ve seen MANY people scoff at tradition and older ways and structure, only to see them walk away from the Lord completely because they lack foundation.  So who&#039;s really spiritually dead at that point?  

The line of communication is important and you&#039;re right.  A wise older person would use that as an opening to teach.  I don&#039;t know if my friend&#039;s mother did that or not.  I haven&#039;t seen him in several years; it would be interesting to follow up and learn whether he still believes that.

KY&#039;s Commonwealth Eye Surgery, awwww shucks.  Thanks.</description>

		<description>I think his problem was the inability to express himself diplomatically. But if I were in the audience, I&#039;d want to know why he considered me spiritually dead. Rather than being foolish, I think he tried to open a line of communication that could have been rewarding.</description>

		<description>I just read Middlezone Musing&#039;s post about mountain experiences. I found the post really enlightening. :D I hope I can have the same experiences you guys did. Too bad there&#039;s not much mountains here in our place. :(

Woah. What was that kid&#039;s problem?</description>
