The Greatest Dilemma of Our Time

Is it Terrorism, and what we might do, to stop men killing one another?

Or is it Corruption, and how we can get leaders to truly and honestly lead?

Is it Religion… how to achieve one universal one?

Or is it Immorality and pervasion?

If you ask me, not all these.

The greatest dilemma of our time…

Is what to do for the child, with the child, and by the child.

It’s a Monday morning:

In hurtling to fix the problems of the world, our country, our states, our families,

Do we do so like Manchester United yesterday, who all advanced up-field in pursuit of victory, only to have their David De Gea at the mercy of Negredo and Aguero?

In other words, do we quickly hand-off our kids to ‘so-called’ teachers, and run off in pursuit of millions?

This week, let us be like Liverpool:

Let us aim for victory, but be defensive.

So that even though the world is a mess today, we can be hopeful that the children we raise will clean it all up tomorrow.

So did I dwell on the Fifth Joyful Mystery this morning.

The right tenets for raising a child could be elusive…

Therefore, let us pray for the disposition of Mary and Joseph, when they found a truant Jesus after three days of searching. The excuse He gave didn’t even make any sense at the time, but His parents kept calm. And after the way they handled the situation, we never heard that Jesus ran off again. He stayed in His father’s shop, diligently learning the art of carpentry. I guess.

Take care of your children, for they are the elements of the future earth.

An empty world will have no trouble.

A world filled with bad people and poorly raised children will be in turmoil.

But a world with good men and women in it… that world will be alright.

I tell you!

Good morning.
