Youth Ministry Snapshot&
"We parents sometimes overreact to things our children tell us because we are scared.  The world is changing too fast, and our kids are growing up too fast:  Body piercing, tattoos, drugs... Then trying to spare our kids pain, we tend to overkill the lesson we are trying to teach."
            -- Theresa Greestein of Edison, N.J. Parade, Aug. 6
