My kids have been isolated from me for years, and totally for over two. Besides the violation of man’s law there is that trivia about the Lord’s commands. Clearly we are not in agreement that the Lord defines marriage, marriage ends with death, the wife is called to reconcile with her husband, etc. This same mindset is set before our kids and they are being taught that the Lord’s commands do not apply. This concerns me.

Then there is the health question. We made some effort in the past to eat well, and I suggest I have matured greatly on that but lament that the barrier to my wife and children do not allow me to share that joy with you and them. This concerns me also.

Then there is the influence of technology in the life of my wife and kids. Do my young kids have cellphones? Are they on Facebook, Twitter, or similar things that are designed to be addictive and make you dumb? Is there anything being done to keep our kids from going the way of the world? Considering the abandonment of following Christ, I have little hope that my kids are being loved and protected. This concerns me also.

I don’t know how to love you well, and how to love our kids well with all the barriers. I’m going to try to jump over them. I love you!
