A thought on God

The point of Christmas is not a sentimental optimism about the human condition or even a teaching about the will of God. It is an assertion that God came to our rescue, and holds our hand, and becomes, at the worst moments, our brokenhearted brother. It is preposterous, unless it is true. And then it would be everything.

I should be writing a paper

I came across this article (which was a bit underwhelming since BYU wasn't included in the study)

BYU study shows young adults, parents differ on best age to marry

As a parent, I don't think it matters when they get married, even in high school. Finances will always be an issue until they learn to set goals and follow through with a budget. The give and take of chores, raising children, health issues, employment is a challenge no matter when they marry. As a parent, I would rather the girls have babies young while they still have the energy to enjoy the experience. Then they have the time when their children are older to finish college, if they choose, then have a career.

The most disturbing part: 8 likes.

There are at least 9 people who think that getting married in high school just might be a good idea.
