What she didn't add is that she is & has been way ahead of the times by having had a published piece in Missions mag. about 20ish years ago on this very same topic. She was decrying the lack of meaningful involvement for our daughters in our youth program.Sadly, nothing's changed. She has inspired me to get my thoughts together to share with this blog.(Since I was the one who has been constantly urging my coc friends to read this blog, and specifically for joyce to share HER thoughts!!)AM working on it!! dallasellenUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04682747540073170641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12478084.post-37112957996575131002009-07-30T14:15:46.984-05:002009-07-30T14:15:46.984-05:00Dallasjoyce-

The different perspectives are good for us all.<br /><br />The disconnect between church and the world (described in your daughters struggles and the church's focus) is so very real and makes church feel so very irrelevant to life sometimes. <br /><br />You give me much to think about.<br />Thanks,<br />Jennjduckbakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02664680342507036663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12478084.post-34815848114614986072009-07-30T13:48:28.377-05:002009-07-30T13:48:28.377-05:00dallasjoyce, thank you for adding your voice here....dallasjoyce, thank you for adding your voice here. I don't want it to be missing.<br /><br />I love your description of the church as the dyfunctional family of God reunion. Can I volunteer to be the drunk Uncle Phil, please.JTBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05977180734561873789noreply@blogger.com
