Evening: Psalm 9, 15; Matthew 11:16-24
Yesterday, a (millennial) friend of mine lamented about ‘Baby Boomers’ in terms that echo Jesus: “To what shall I compare this generation?” One, perhaps justifiable, caricature of Boomers is that they are ‘entitled’ – they get what they want, now! Spiritual guide Bill Plotkin says many Boomers have not yet emerged from adolescence! Such laments call for repentance, and that means action. Our grandchildren’s future – post-millennials and beyond – requires the action of Boomers now to address the harms done by our generation’s excesses. If we are ever to be called wise, Jesus is right, wisdom must be vindicated by her deeds.
