| Barbara Walters has been the target of many jokes for asking the infamous interview question "If you were a tree, what kind would you be?" Many people, including Barbara Walters, agree that the question is just plain silly. I mean how much insight can one gain about a person based on the type of tree they would want to be? Well, I think that unbeknownst to Barbara, she was really on to something quite deep when she asked the question and I realized this after a recent debate with a friend. |

| We all live in an instantaneous world. We want instant gratification. We have microwaves, instant pudding, instant soups, we send out next day delivery, e- mails, INSTANT message, faxes, well, you get my point. We live in a high-paced society where everything has to be done right away. I am including myself in this too. |

| Is there anything more vital than the care and protection of our children? As a Christian, a wife, a mother of six, and an educator, my answer like yours, I’m sure, is an emphatic My God No! Like many of you, I believe that a society that does not invest in its youth divests from it’s future. But in spite of all of our great proclamations as good Americans, good Christians, our nightly headliners report a different story. |

| There is a strange phenomenon I am aware of, a condition that belies explanation. I have become so accustomed to this mentality, this over-indulgent way of living, so acclimated to this modern day Babylon, that I scarcely feel its constant pull on my life at times. The slogans surround me, things like” It’s all about you, and isn’t it about time?”, Or “Have it your way”, etc. Wherever I look, whatever I watch, whomever I am around, all seem to be desperately trying to ream some degree of satisfaction from a world overflowing with opportunity, chance, prosperity, and ironically, emptiness. |
