Blue or pink? Blue or pink? The ultrasound tech told us it would be one of the two. It was one of those nervous/excited moments that the simple color of a screen would define much of the rest of our lives. I admit, that when my wife and I went for the 20-week ultrasound for our first baby, I was hoping, as a guy, for the screen to turn blue. No doubt. It was pink. No doubt...
The truth: “Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child, but the rod of correction will drive it far from him” (Prov. 29:15).
The diagnosis: Implicit about young people, is their inherent bent toward folly. Just like cats meow and dogs bark, kids commit imbecilic acts. It’s inherent. Foolishness is the default setting in your kids and mine. Yes, they’re beyond cute. Yes, they are our pride and joy, but they are born with an invisible dunce cap on, that literally can put their lives in peril.
