I was talking to my son yesterday

About how discouraged he feels as a Christian young man about our culture and all the yucky stuff he has to wade through every day.

I get it. I often feel the same.

Here’s what I’ve come to with Jesus:

God planted me in the time and place I am

he could have made me

a pioneer mom

or a Victorian lady

or a matriarch in 1st century Palestine.

I don’t have any control over other people’s choices

What I can do is to act justly

What I can do is to love mercy

What I can do is walk humbly with my God

That’s in the Bible.
