As y'all know, I don't have kids. But I freak out the same way about my nephews. 15yo nephew's youth group (WHY do these stupid idiot youth ministers think up crap like this?!?!?) decided that a 2-week mission trip to a children's home in Guatemala would be just the thing this summer. Before the words were even out of their mouths, I said, "NO." They said, but it's doing such great work for this children's home. I said NO!!! And then I forwarded them the State Dept.'s web site info on travel advisories for Guatemala. It scared me to death just reading it. After much ado, they finally did say no.
Back to my question - why do these youth ministers think this crap up? Like there's not enough poor people who need help in Johnson City, TN? Or if they want to go somewhere, an Indian reservation out west? Sheesh.
OK, off soapbox. I'll be prayin', RNG.
