>center> Of Youthful Indiscretions Written: By Tom Wright 11/28/00 In our youth, many desire to dance with life. Cognizant of, that at some point, the dance will end and the Piper paid, yet we procrastinate. Life holds each culpable for our youthful exuberance, and our often, immature choices. As youthful indiscretions darken our past, so also, do they obscure our future. Just as the Prodigal's Son, we can return unto the house of our father. For, as with our Heavenly Father, there, will be found love and forgiveness. Never should we write ourselves off, nor should others; For Jesus said, concerning the woman taken in adultery, " He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her ". Youthful improprieties need not be synonymous with failure, and beginning anew, requires only that we aspire to improve; An alteration of attitude, or surroundings, per se, and a return to our Heavenly Father. By those who know and love us, surely we'll be exonerated; while those who don't know us, it scarcely matters. Of the embarrassment and pain we cause ourselves, we deserve, and unquestionably will endure; Consider this the Piper's payment for the dance. As for inadvertent anguish caused to others, it takes but a moment in time to say " I'm sorry ", but takes, what often seems like an eternity, to validate. Hopefully, we will not be remembered for youthful knockdowns; let our true character lie in our ability to rise from our last.
