A FORGOTTEN GENERATION

"Since you have forgotten the law of your God,
I also will forget your children."

Hosea 4:6
Last night I was asked to be a chaperone for one of our local, public high-schools (these schools are so prestigious and highly esteemed that families have moved cross-country to provide the opportunity for their children to attend).  It was a  community presentation by the frosh/soph boys and girls chorale.  This school has quite an excellent reputation...and deservedly so.  The teachers are superb and truly care for the kids.

With about 150 students, they are divided into three groups, two groups of girls...and the boys.  Since the teachers can't be in two places at one time, they need "chaperones" to watch the students who are waiting to perform, while the teachers are with the students on stage.

Anyway, the "chaperone assignments" were given out before the show and I, along with another gentleman was in charge of the boys.  Each student was well-groomed, well-dressed, white shirts and black ties all.  It provided a rare and unique glimse into today's youth culture, away from the confines of their established authority figures.

No parents, no teachers, they felt free to be themselves...and they were.2 Timothy 3:1-4 talks about some of the characteristics and attributes that we can expect from men in this "Age of Delusion." 

Last night I saw the boys...who will become those men...

And I've been weeping ever since.


*I imagine that some of you, like me are asking yourself, "Didn't the fact that two adult, male, chaperones were there, influence their behavior?  Astonishingly...very, very little.
