"For Reva"

 
Reva,
 
You took the words right out of my mouth!  I too am STUNNED as I watch people mill around like nothing is happening.  I would be completely humbled, and not quite joyous, if I were marrying and planning a family in these days.  I have a young friend who is unmarried and pregnant who walks around showing everyone her belly with a big grin on her face, and she was raised in church to know better!  I'm just amazed how people have become so complacent with the times of this age.  She, my pregnant friend, is so drawn to spending time with me, but I have trouble being around her right now.  I also question how I have represented myself, because people seem to be so completely comfortable sharing their sinfulness in my presence.  I keep telling her to look up and make better decisions from here.  And all she can talk about is the baby shower she wants me to throw for her at church.  I know people make mistakes, but when people purposely live against G-d's laws and then pretend like everything's o.k,, well, I just shudder.
 
Hang in there, Reva.  You are going to have to just get through it for your friend's sake.  And I understand about your DH; mine is the same.  He thinks I overreact too.  He makes the comment sometimes that it sure is hard being married to a saint.  I just wonder how it is that everyone is not as convicted as I am.  And people are acting like nothing is happening.  We just completed our fall break (even though I homeschool, we follow the vacation schedule.)  And we stayed home and enjoyed our pool while almost everyone we know went to the beach.  Do they not see the news?!
 
Best wishes to you.
 
Maranatha,
