When I’m looking over the statistics for the people who visit this blog, I can also see the search terms that bring people to my site. Many of them are interesting.

Our children today are very busy trying to fit into someone else’s armor—to fit in with the kings of our society and try to pass themselves off as someone other than the unique and special person that God made.
