Reflections:Musings on a Saturday Morning

Unbelievable, isn't it, that a 37-year old woman could get by with actually marrying a 15-year old? Where was the positive, protective influence of this teenage boy's parents? In several places in the Bible it speaks of the progressive depravation of mankind. This is a great example of those scriptures. This lady (I don't even remember her name -- neither is it important) fell in love with her own 15-year old son's best friend. So, I'm deducing there's some major character flaws and perhaps (no, definitely) instability in her emotional well-being. While all that sounds politically correct and all, what is essentially true is that she has allowed her flesh (and all its kinky and unbalanced desires) to rule her. Beyond the thought of what her son might think, beyond the thought of what this relationship will do to this young teenage boy (for the rest of his life).......and now there is a baby inserted in the middle of it all?

If this seems like a soap opera storyline, you're exactly right, it does. But this is a true story. The lady has had the baby (a boy), but has been put back in jail. The young 15-year old father has run away from home, ended up in another state, and is just obsessed with keeping his new "family" together. This 37-year old teenager wannabe actually had the gall to marry this young boy, using the leverage of a 1962 statute that says a minor may marry if he has fathered a child.

I dare say that it will take intervention from God in a poignant way to salvage anything worthwhile in this situation.

What next?

Parents killing their children, setting fire to their homes, and blaming it on what??
