Church and Growing up/Dealing with it.

The Sunday morning service was, interesting. I wasn't completly able to keep up with what the pastor was saying, he was preaching from Revelation ( I was very impressed about might I add ). He talked about what we'll have or not have in heaven. We won't have anything to be afraid of I believe what his main point was. He did at one point touch on the fact that there will be no marriage in heaven, and marriage being something only on earth. He didn't use scripture to back it up, but he could have talked about the men that went to Jesus and gave him a scenario where a man? married a woman, then she died, then married another then she died, then married another then he died, who will he be married to in heaven. I know if I were to ever get married, the thought of not being together forever would get to me, but in heaven I'm sure my perspective would change.

I was kind of spacing out and in to the service, but thats about all I got.


I came to some thinking recently, I know many people my age are probably going through some tough times due to growing up. There is no such thing as a perfect child, maybe examine yourselves and realize that your situation is not misunderstood by your parents or friends. The bible talks about nothing new being under the sun, you're parents have been your age once too. Growing up is normal and you should never feel like it's a curse, it's one of the few major milestones in ones life and shouldn't be taken lightly.

There is also no such thing as a perfect parent, the true goal of a parent during such a time should only to be somebody to lean on and to watch as an example for adulthood and for correction when necessary. Most parents don't misunderstand their child's situation, just don't totally know how to deal with it. That shouldn't discourage you, it can be a process that both sides work on together.

Hope I'm looking too much into anything, I feel like I'm barely skimming it.

Don't get mad at me please :)

Random thought: Why is it Mothers and Fathers other then your own are always the coolest? Please somebody tell me...

Sorry for grammatical errors. I hope that people understand things from my point of view.

Comments totally welcome and wanted.
