Also, we have to double down on our local community awareness not other states etc. Everything starts locally. |

He's turned into everything we're not. He has abandoned the "church" and become a racist. We can't even talk anymore for more than about 2 minutes before he starts into his rants. He's not violent or anything, just spews hate. He really needs to grow up!
We were having an argument when he was around 16 or so about his future. He said he didn't want what I had. I asked what he meant by that and what did I have? He said he didn't know, but he didn't want it! He won that; he has no family, no career, no property other than a very old Chevy Cavalier and most importantly, no relationship with God. At least he supports himself; well, after sticking us with his college loan (I foolishly co-signed for the loan). |

Ball is always in the parents court - period.
Love is an action and sometimes takes more work than we realize. He may be searching for bottom - hell, many of us had to reach bottom before we were ready for a personal relationship with Jesus. |

As a father, I can never say “the ball is in my son’s court”. Ever. Not trying to be judgemental as I don’t have a 40 year old son so I have no idea. But ideally reaching out as a parent regardless of differences in political aspirations or ideas is what love is all about. |

entertain them with TV (old days), and later it was video games. Today it is the tablet, and phone. Hence a child's foundation is based on what the media offers. Also, in the old days, we had on, and off, buttons (), which are rarely used anymore, it seems. I believe that we can lay blame to any entity, but the responsibility to find truth remains our own. As an example, Acts 17:11 ... and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so. As a challenge, try weaning off any media for even a week. And we call ourselves free. |

The internet is one massive marketing tool used to reflect back to you your insecurities so you'll buy something new. Kids have no business online. Particularly unsupervised. It's like handing them a loaded gun without any training according to psychologists. The propaganda side of the internet wants you to believe nobody is in control so authoritarians can own you ideologically. Pornography alone can ruin a kids mind while in college. Causing plenty of shame that can work it's way into other aspects of the young persons identity.

Don't misunderstand the ball being in his court. The problem is we can't have a civil conversation with him. If we don't cater to his rants, he has nothing to say. Hard to believe, but other than our last name, we have nothing in common. We've called and he doesn't answer. We leave a message and he doesn't call back. That's what I mean; we reach out, he doesn't respond.
Strangely enough, he's about 90 minutes from my sister and her family. They had him over for Thanksgiving & Christmas and he was a totally different person. He told us one thing about a future plan and my sister a totally different story. With us he's the definition of belligerent, with them, charming. This probably isn't the place for this... |

Am I the only one who finds it funny that I took my pig (circa 1979 shop class in junior high) to a cop friend to resurface and then seal?

How would you LEOs handle this...
We were at the Strawberry Festival yesterday and I was, as usual, carrying. For some reason I reached around and felt my back pocket and noticed my wallet missing. I thought FOR SURE I got pickpocketed. I went to one of the sheriff deputies that was there and privately explained my position. I was extremely paranoid that I was carrying without a permit even though I have one. The deputy didn't seem concerned at all that I was carrying without a permit and just wanted me to go to my car and see if it had fallen out there; it hadn't. He gave me his phone number and wanted me to call after we got home and I had checked to see if my wallet was there. THANKFULLY it was! I called and got his voicemail so just left a message. I guess I was hoping he would escort me to my car so I wouldn't get in Dutch with any other LEOs. I was SHOCKED that he didn't seem to care much that I was armed without a permit. San Diego County deputies seem to be very CCW positive. Thoughts? |

Given your situation, I wouldn't have sweated you. It's easy to confirm whether or not you've been issued a CCW. |
