When I started out today I had a lot of great thoughts. Then the computer froze and shut down. Everything was lost. So I am back and I don't know if the thoughts will be as great as the lost ones but I will do some thinking anyhow.
I know that I can not touch each "at risk" teen or every teen in "crisis" but I do try to make a difference in the lives that I can and do touch. Since I have been blogging on this issue I have come across many, many organizations doing the same thing that I will be doing with my organization. There is a ton of help out there for the "at risk" or in "crisis" teen. OH yeah all teens are "at risk" so I guess even with all the help available it will not be enough. Unless, we all join in on loving our teens. Caring and excepting them as valuable people. I have to get going for now but I will be back with some links to some of the many places that I mentioned.

Ok so I have been thinking now I have two 17 year old sibblings I love to talk with them. I have a hard time knowing when to shut my mouth and just listen and when to jump in and tell them what I think. I never know if they want my input and if I do give it are they thinking about what I said or are they going to be like me when I was there age and not really care what others say because "their not me they don't know what I'm going through how could they possibly know" and just shut me out. Hmmm sorry I guess thats a issue I have to work out.
I have worked with at risk teens alot especially lately. None of them have ever asked me why I work with them. If they did ask me if I was a good person I would have to say no. The bible says that no one is good not one. People are proud and arogant and feel entitled to the help they recieve they do not see me or anyone else that helps them as doing it because they are good or a christian. There is not time for people to see the "good" in me and ask me what it is about. I need to bring the good news to them assertively. the bible says go therefore to all nations and be nice until they ask you why you are being nice. (not) It says to preach the gospel. The law (ten commandments) shows people why they need a savior, and the new testament tells them who the savior is and what they must do to inherit etenal life. which is repent, put their trust in Jesus and make him the lord (#1) in their life.
