It will be interesting to follow this perspective on my sons’ culture.

A mere handful of folks making the top 40 along with actors and actresses becoming divas and superstars with outrageous incomes dictating how our society should behave, think, and dress? So, I boycotted any of the awards shows and limited TV for better quality shows, and listened to my favorite music only, etc.

It was a short time before I realized that I was becoming irrelevant–who was Brittney, Christina, and Eminem? As a parent of 4 children and also a S.S. teacher for High School kids, I found out these people were thrust on kids in every media and that I needed to be aware–not isolated.

Sure there are some of these bad examples, which eventually became a joke to the kids, but there are still others who do make a positive stand that the kids do relate. It surely gets the discussions going during devotions. No, I don’t have to like the new trends and stars, but I do need to be aware. It does make an impression on the kids that I am at least aware of the culture changes.

It’s a missionary field out there! The second thing you need to know for missions where ever you go is their culture. You know the first.
