Generation Y

My apologies for my preoccupation with other things. I suppose that turning 21 is quite a cornerstone in my generation. It was not all that glitters.. really the more valuable thing was the journey to 21.

Lately, I've been contemplating my generation. Generation Y. or.. Generation Y not? If there were ever a time that the bandwagon was THIS appealing... please tell me. Maybe during Woodstock?..still doesn't compare.

The opportunities our young people and young adults have today are not any greater than before in the sense that there are exciting new things to try; rather, our generation (particularly referring to Christians) has become desensitized. We have become "postmodernized" (yes I made that word up) Meaning that we have become more or less moral relativists. We are not all spineless, the Church itself hasn't lost it's spine in its entirety...it is the individuals.

Now, I know I can't make this a blanket statement for every church, every person, around the world. BUT.. In my assessment of my peers and myself, (I tend to OVER analyze until I can break it down to something I can iterate to others) I have discovered a -fear-. Not a fear of God, mind you. A fear of rejection.

Isn't that a natural feeling of any person?

yes. It is.

We become lost in the crowd, in the excitement. We don't feel like we have a testimony until...we have, been there..done that. I know I felt that way. I know countless souls who hold the same view. My mother even recalls me using these exact words "Mom, I don't have a testimony. I've never experienced anything."

What a tragedy of things I did experience before I realized the pointless endeavor was just wasting my life away.

This is where it comes to a decision. On the side walk? Or off? right?
Off is a drop, but what a view from the top...
