Thrilling 15?
God's Boys will be good boys!
Disenchantment begins at 15, mostly. What else is there? This question can lead us down many a wrong path. Where am I? What is life about and for? Where are the thrills that I was looking for? Your soul is not a closet for packing as much as you can. Your soul is for instructing and considering. We try to thrill our own souls and overwhelm our senses with every consideration. Not good. Do you love life and want to see good days? says the Psalmist. Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking guile. What does that have to do with thrills and goodness? we wonder? Carefully dancing around the considerations is walking circumspectly. Thinking and planning and keeping your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking guile. Is this thing that I am doing a real recreation? Is it an edification?
In a way our 15 age is the age that we realize that we do have some authority about where we are going and we do have some determination. Pacing yourself, instructing your conscience and doing all that is in your hand to do. With your might, do it. That which you can do with a good conscience, do it. Enjoy it and then go on to the next thing. Birthdays are for repenting. Birthdays are for planning and birthdays are for dreaming. Keep on dancing and keep on dreaming.

I was impressed with the content of that Science Journal.

Creativity is your strongpoint, now follow it up with some substance. This lateness thing has got to stop.

86 or 89 on the paper and a greater determination
God's Boys will be good boys!
To do your work to the glory of God. I am glad to see that kick to the finish line in this last couple of weeks of school. You are working on the projects which are due and you are delighting me with your intensity to see better grades. I am truly pleased with that. I love to see your kindness and your sweetness, but I am impressed with your determined applying yourself to your work.
Let's not wait so long to get into the swing of things next year. Highschool is about coming out of the starting block kicking!

On a Scale of 1-10 where 10 is the best.
God's Boys will be good boys!
He says it was a 9. We will see if pride is detected or if his perception of his presentation was accurate. Is pride the folly of the teen years, it is good to perceive within yourself, if your perceptions of yourself are to the right or to the left of reality. It will guage your way through life. When we calculate the zero for not putting in the previous project in on time a 9 is what you need to stay right in the middle of the road.
We both know that we don't want too much attention for being too smart. So you missed yesterday's opportunity and will ace today's. That is not wise, but it is the habit. Try getting 80's all of the time and finishing every project, instead of sprinting hard because you didn't finish the last time. Let's see if there will be more peace in heart and mind and the house then.

Thrilled to work on a goal!

What is midnight?
God's Boys will be good boys!
Midnight is full launch, my boy. You are not there yet, but soon. The day will come when you have full responsibility over your own conscience. The day when mom and dad won't see and won't know what you are doing. Teach us, we pray to the Lord, to number our days. But then, we grow up and we don't have mom and dad and the other preservatives in our lives.
Is the something lurking going to attack you and take you into the grasp of the hounds of Hell? That is the question that Professor Jackson places before us in the Thriller. Will you face them clothed in the righteousness of another, or will you try to face them in your own strength? Read, as it were, the esteemed professors dissertation on accountability. We dance to the beat and have no sense that we are embibing the dissertation. Some evil and some to good use. This one, is fraught with wisdom and guidance about our considerations in the time of trouble and temptation. There is a real devil and much of the temptation comes from within our own hearts. He has no solution dilineated, but the problem has been mapped out exquisitely.
God gives us many days of accountability, on earth to prepare us for That Day.
You and I are no match for the hounds of Hell. Ask yourself? Am I any match for this? No. Seek the Lord.
