But I don't think there is anything to do about it.<br /><br />I don't know you're church but in mine I make every effort to go outside of the youth area a lot just to show my care for other areas.

Like if they are a nurse ask them when they will be a doctor? Or if the are a teacher, when will the become the principal? It helps people see that their comparison is dumb.Adam McLanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06017070388202238812noreply@blogger.com
