The kids I worry about are those at a school with no good church nearby at all.

Thank you for writing about it so succinctly! I was public schooled my entire life, including attending college at the incredibly liberal University of Iowa. However, that incredibly liberal school also has a wonderful LC-MS campus ministry. :) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9196316261585940971.post-64942403128614608412014-06-10T07:39:12.456-07:002014-06-10T07:39:12.456-07:00I was homeschooled K-12 and went to as tiny and in...I was homeschooled K-12 and went to as tiny and insulated a Lutheran college as they come. I loved the nurturing environment at college, but anyone who thinks a small Lutheran college will be temptation-free is very wrong. Drinking, cussing, drugs, and sex are still present, albeit in smaller doses, and the school authorities do their best to discourage or ban sinful activities. I think that in some ways, being at a Christian college makes resisting temptation harder, because when you know your roommate is a Christian like you, but she's getting drunk every weekend, it's hard to see why you shouldn't too. If the people sitting in front of you in chapel are also sneaking into each others' dorm rooms to spend the night, it's hard not to consider following their example. In some ways, I think it could be easier not to stray when you can see that it's the ungodly that are behaving in these ways.<br /><br />Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.com
