Awww today was See You At The Pole! It always reminds me of when I was a teenager. 

I am really glad that I was raised in a home where going to church was expected. I might joke about the indoctrination that I received having gone to Christian school and my upbringing (there might be a few things I'm still working out in my own faith- luckily there's a book that's pretty straightforward with the answers;))- but the fact is I am glad my parents and teachers taught me from God's word. They might have taught us what to believe- but they followed it with scripture- scripture that is truth, its infallible. It's taken many years to sort through what I believe and how I react towards things I don't believe are right. I battle self righteousness constantly. But I am glad that I was given a straight path when I was young. 

"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it" Proverbs 22.6

So thank you to my parents, teachers, and pastors. I am thankful that you've invested time and energy into my life. I'm glad that I was able to bypass much of the "experimental" times many youth face, who maybe don't have adults in their lives- possibly breathing down their necks;) Thank you for teaching me that relativity is not what Christians should be embracing, but that the Bible is our standard and anything that is contradictory is false.
