Part-time at Youth for Christ

The first of November will be my first day at Youth for Christ. It will be only part time as I continue to raise funds for the program. If anyone has any ideas how to successfully do that in this economy let me know.

Thinking About Our Kids

I have been reading a book called, "Superpredators: The Demonization of Our Children by the Law". The book is drawing some analogies between:

• the increase of violent crimes committed by teens




• reports of increasing child abuse and neglect




• the increase of teen suicides




• the increased feeling of despair by teens

All of these facts cause the author to raise the question, "What is going on in our society to cause our children to become so discouraged?"

Making a Difference

I just read some interesting facts. Research shows that the more interpersonal relationships a person has after leaving jail, the less likely they will return to a life of crime. It appears that all you need is a little time to invest in someone's life to make a positive impact on our community.
