Grandpa, more proof

This incident happened the very night we published “Grandpa,” and it just verified the point I was making.  That night, my family went out to celebrate my wife’s birthday at our favorite local restaurant.  My oldest son and his soon to be wife (less than a week), my daughter and her husband (as I said in an earlier blog, she is very pregnant with my first grandchild) and my 9 year old son were all present.  Yes, God blessed me in my old age with another son.  I was 40 years old when he was born; my oldest son was 12 years old and my daughter was 9 years old.  Our normal waiter was not there, so we had a new waitress who did not know us.  I sat at the head of the table and my nine year old sat at the other end of the table by my daughter and her husband.  When the meal was over, we asked the waitress to split the check without giving her any instructions as to which people were together.  When she came back, she had put my nine year old son’s meal on my daughter and son-in-law’s bill.  She assumed that he was her child and my grandson.  Granted, most of the time my daughter looks and acts older than her actual age, but this waitress thought it was perfectly normal for my daughter to have a son that old, and found it strange that he is actually my son. 

This thought permeates our society, that it is fine for girls to have children very young and most likely out of wedlock.   I beg you to pray for our society, that we turn back to God and His principles.  The Bible says in Isaiah 5:20-21

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness;
Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

²¹ Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes,
And prudent in their own sight!

That is what America is doing right now, calling good evil and evil good.  We are wise in our own eyes.  We are not following God’s way and we must repent and turn back to God as a society or I feel the end is near.
