For some this topic will be handled passively and for others, an engagement that reveals true passion will be revealed. There are several voices that already eloquently speak of this decay in culture. The dysfunction has crossed generations and has now created a breed of irresponsible adults who are raising children without the most basic idea of parenting. Years ago, two or more generations huddled around the grand parents to learn the heritage of the family. Family reunions nowadays are a short vacation on which members travel from far and near to spend a few days away from their current localities. Children are no longer corrected when their behaviours violate the principles that formed the base for which the family is founded. Emphasis are now placed on whatever one is doing to earn or make money. There are at almost all of these gatherings a considerable number of single men and women who have had children out of wedlock. In the days of our grand parents and parents, this was looked upon as wrong, a consequence that brought about shame on the family. Not nowadays! Irresponsible parents raising irresponsible children is fueling a culture that is gradually choking the very foundation of a people.
I will not hesitate to mention some men who have dared to speak about this and have been looked upon as being out of touch. The very critics of Dr. William Cosby, Juan Williams, etc. have decided that the very way they were raised by their parents is inferior, old fashioned and so the battle will continue.
I speak with a heart that is hurting for a community that has certainly gone astray and the voices of reason are being gagged.

Yes, this is the truth. No one wants to talk about it and no one wants to confront the wrong. When they are confronted they say we are judging them and the mess continues. What can we do to stop and turn our wonderful heritage back where it came. A village raising proud, moral and great families that see ourselves as God sees us!
