What happened? I still go to church on Sundays, but where is everyone else? Church attendance, from what I can see, is way down (and Gallup agrees). Why is that? And do not blame COVID-19. And where are the young people? Those who I see in church are mostly over fifty (I am over seventy). This is not right.Where are the kids? This is not the way it used to be, and it is certainly not what God wants. Parents! What are you doing? Time in church, time with God, is something we all need and can afford. And yes, I know you are busy and so are the kids (I have six grandchildren), but I do believe there are priorities, and listening and talking to God is one of the highest and a good lesson for children of all ages growing up. And I do understand that getting ready for church can be a hassle, but it is something I hope that will be ingrained in your children, hopefully forever.
And now who am I? No, I am not a priest or a minister or anything like that. Therefore, in this book, I hope I will avoid long, boring lectures and will deal only with real life. I hope I can point to things that we can all do that will help all of us. (And that God will appreciate.) For forty years, I taught social studies in the New York City high school system. And I enjoyed it very much. It was real! And I would recommend it as a career. It is work, and it is often challenging, but you will be needed and helping others. (And do not forget you have summers off.) A few hints, though—get to know your students and let them know you. After all, you are there to help them, and do allow yourself to have some fun with them. There is no harm with a good laugh.
I am rather sure that God laughs.
So what is the point of this book? Too many of us have forgotten or ignored what God wants, and this book will remind us what he expects. That sounds simple. It's not.
