Great article. I cringe when I see young girls. Young. 10, 11, 12 years old talking about/wearing makeup. I wonder what happened to playing outside climbing trees and riding bikes. Do they even know how to play jacks? Can they double dutch at jump rope? There is such pressure on them to fit in and be grown up and my heart hurts for them.

If is the important word in Proverbs 16:31. As my hair becomes grayer and grayer, I hope I will become more and more righteous. Brethren,I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:13-14. I've talked to gray headed people who are living very unrighteous lives ,but harken back to the day they "got saved" and so they're okay with God. The word IF is the qualifier ,in Proverbs 16:31, for the hoary head to be a crown of glory.
