Most rewarding 60 minutes in the mall.

Connie and I were in the mall the other day meeting Denae and Will (our grandson) for lunch. Lance and Olivia happened to be in town as well and we all were just doing different things in the mall. I gladly took Will in his stroller and we just walked the mall while the others shopped. This turned out to be great because he went to sleep almost immediately which meant that all I had to do was keep moving. To my utter shock and amazement I was stopped three times in less than an hour by three adults who recognized me and asked if I was “SEX ED.” I had brief conversations with all three of them which basically consisted of “Oh, I remember so much of what you taught us,” “Thanks, for what you do. You helped me so much.” “Do you still teach students like you used to?” “When I have kids I hope that you are still doing the Sex Ed thing.”

Let me just say that was the most rewarding 60 minutes that I have ever spent in the mall in my entire life. All I could do was look at Will and think about his future and thank God for being able to raise a godly daughter who married a godly man and praise God that both of them practiced what I teach and were virgins on their wedding night.

Let me be totally honest here. As I have turned 50 this year it makes you think about the past and the future as it relates to the present. God just allowed me to see that my past has positively affected the future. He also told me to stay faithful, faithful, faithful and this power to influence the future would increase.

COME ON FRIENDS . . . DO NOT STOP OR BACK UP WE ARE WORLD CHANGERS!!!!

Prov 4:20-22
20 My son, give attention to my words;
Incline your ear to my sayings.
21 Do not let them depart from your eyes;
Keep them in the midst of your heart;
22 For they are life to those who find them,
And health to all their flesh.
NKJV

As I begin my 16th year of speaking in schools I am more excited than ever with all the possibilities that this year will hold for us. I know that this is my call to the youth of America, to bring the truth about sexual purity before them so that they can find a long healthy life. As you well know the “ABSTINENCE ONLY” message is under severe attack in the American public school system (as is all Biblical truth) but we will not stop or back up in the face of this opposition.

Thanks for reading!
