I assume most of us on this “WWJ” journey are parents, many of us are grandparents, and some of us are ‘great’ or even great-great grandparents! Parenting is one of the most complex and difficult endeavors in life, do you agree? And as you watch the rapid cultural/social changes in our world and the dramatic differences between the values of the generations, would you agree parenting or leadership in almost every venue is far more difficult today than it ever has been before? All of us parents have faced the challenge of needing to discipline the children we love, sometimes severely, in order to correct their thinking, their inverted values, their wrong choices in order to help them see the grave danger of the path they are pursuing, the horrific future they are shaping for themselves, right? At the very same time, as we discipline them whom we love so dearly, we struggle to find a way to assure them that our love for them is not diminished by their poor choices or bad behavior.
