myspace is depressing

when i first got onto myspace and facebook it was so cool. i got to read about everyone’s interests and see their pictures, but now its so depressing. so many people that i have invested my life into are choosing the very things that i encouraged them to stay away from. college kids are having sex and drinking, high school kids have pictures of themselves holding alcohol and drug pipes- i see great girls hanging on the necks of sleazy, oily boys. its such a downer.

all of this makes me ask myself, “what went wrong? where did it all go wrong?” i mean i watched all of these kids stand up at hume lake with tears in their eyes and give their lives to Christ- and now they recording their rebellion to Christ for the entire world wide web to see. did we not being it strong enough? did everyone just ignore our words? were they sitting in their pews on Sunday mornings and just appearing to care but really not? it is the parents? college professors? the media? i don’t know what i’m going to do, but pretty soon you’ll see a picture of me on the internet holding drugs: anti-depressants.

friends- make good choices, ok?
God gave us these standards not to take away our freedom, but to GIVE US FREEDOM and a life with no scars and no regrets.
choose life.
