So the mouse just erased my whole message.
I'm trying to comment on books as I read them. Yes, I know I seem to be reading teen novels, but you're reading my blog so anyway...
This picture is from Amazon.com and is the cover of "Face the Music" by Melody Carlson. It's funny and cute. But we're going to go into my rant that reoccurs in so many different places. Chloe and Jeremy are forbidden by their chaperone from spending time alone together (like going to the mall) because they might, get this, be interested in each other. Oh no, because then they might find out they like each other. And in all her books the mature Christians have kissed-dating-goodbye. Here's a hint - I find this to be the reason so many of us are not married. I know it's the reason I didn't have a date for the four years of college. The guys had to wait for God to tell them to marry a person before they could ask them on a date. WHATEVER! You know getting to know someone might mean you spend time with them. Possibly without a crowd to distract you. You know Laura Ingalls was allowed to go buggy riding alone with Almanzo Wilder in 1883. I'm not sure why this is such a bad thing.
End of rant, this is just something I keep hearing and I don't understand why people seem to think it's a good thing.
