A Soulful Journey

“Adolescence is a kind of seasickness.  Both are funny, but only in retrospect.”  - Arthur Koestler Everyone experiences something quite similar.  Growing out of childhood and into adulthood is jarring both for the adolescent and the family .

A station wagon puled up to the entrance of a Springfield, MO. mall and a gaggle of kids in their early teens spilled out of the back seat.   “Hey, you kids,” the woman behind the wheel called after the disappearing brood, “I’ll be waiting right here when the movie gets out.  If you are not here, I’ll come in and find you.” She turned to the adult friend in the seat beside her.  “That’ll get em,” she said.  “They’d rather die than have their friends see them in the company of their mom.” – Mike O’Brien, Springfield, MO News Leader When young we behave in ways that we would gladly pay a king’s ransom to do a “redo.”  Since that is not possible why not choose wisely today?
