Eating out with heathens
Will try my hand at an actual post.....
We just returned from an interesting experience. We were having a late family dinner in a local, fairly popular restaurant. Half-way through, a large group of loud, rude, swearing teenagers from one of the local private schools (will leave the religious affiliation out.....really doesn't matter as could have been from any school) filled the place and quickly ended our quiet dinner. Another patron actually confronted the group nearest us pleading that they refrain from the poor language. The kids found this amusing. They were all over the place. Moving from table to table, etc., etc.
As we left, we did share our thoughts with the manager (an alumnus of this private school) who did apologize, but really didn't though. Just made excuses.
Anyway, now our 14 year old son is going to get a very stern warning tonight (he wasn't along) that he had best never, ever, ever be party to the behavior that we saw tonight.
Oh for the days of Mayberry and Sheriff Taylor. This wouldn't have happened in his town!

THAT'S the kind of world that I want to keep my kids in! Oh, well - I guess the best we can do is prepare them for living in the one we have!
Welcome to blogville!
Mayberry was make believe.
Welcome, even though it's been a while & I just found you blog tonight. I hope that you will write more - I loved hearing you preach on Sunday!!!
