Most encouraging and RIGHT ON TIME! Struggling parents of a 16-year old who, haven't done it all perfectly, but really believed we done those things God has required. Yet, just like you said, the teenage "stranger" in our house is not so sure that she believes much in ANY of the things we believe are important (love of God and service to Him, good grades, healthy and whole relationships). Heartbreaking. But this article has truly helped me TODAY! Thank you sir! We'll keep on doing what we know to do is right. Michelle B., Corona, CA
