A growing number of parents are refusing

to give their children smartphones

and the movement is going global.

That's the headline on CNBC.

Oh, I hope so.

A growing number of parents.

And just to tell you if you're doing that,

the reason I bring that up, not a guilt trip, but again a lot of parents, a growing

number globally, are refusing to give their children smartphones.

I think that's very wise, it's not a guilt trip, but I did want to bring it up just to tell you if you are doing that you are not alone

Or even close I know parents we could second-guess ourselves like well, should I and everybody else and blah. No, no, no, it's becoming really obvious to people.

Okay, here's your big reminder that you don't need to have all the answers to every question.

You don't, in order to trust God. You know, you're not gonna. There's so many questions,

but I trust him because I've seen his character in my life. Maybe I have two. I trust him because the things I read about him.

There are a lot of people I've known who follow him. Their lives are better because

they follow him. I found that his way of living is better. It makes sense. It's lighter. It's easier.

I've seen him answer prayers. I can review all this stuff in my head. I know he's been good to me he's protected me from stuff I know that

Probably a lot of stuff I don't even know about it. I've seen stuff where I've been

Protected and um so I don't have every answer.
