An ordinance of God as old as this world but as fresh as each new day ought to be heard and heeded by the young of today: (1) get married; (2) have children; (3) raise those children in the nurture and the admonition of the Lord. When thrashing about trying to find purpose and meaning, goals and callings in life, get back to the basics! (1) Get married; (2) have children; (3) raise those children in the Lord. Some of the most essential reasons for existence center on those basic principles.
