Thats great praise the Lord.I was only joking when I said 'party all night long' I can barely keep my eyes open past 10pm these days. Actually, thinking about it, I was a complete horror. Which I'm not proud of. But weirdly, neither of my boys drink or smoke or do drugs. I know many parents say this, but I AM the parent who would know! Maybe they're too busy keeping an eye on me, to make sure that I'm not doing the aforementioned! If so, good.
Praise God that I'm the one (by finding Christ) who's broken the cycle. I hope so. If there's only one thing that's come out of my messed up life, i'm glad that my kids don't partake in drink, drugs and cigarettes.
I was never really into it though some of my friends were heavily into the party lifestyle. One girl got into it and didnt survive, I always am wary about parties where drink and drugs are readily available. So many bad things can happen at parties. I now tell her story as a cautionary tale, but thing is Jesus saved her soul from worse things that could have happened in the flesh had she lived. And by her death the police were really raked over the coals for basically ignoring her pleas for help.
Thing is if one is partying all night on Saturday they going to be too hungover to make it to church Sunday morning.
I have some neighbours who are really bad. They seem to be up all night playing doof doof bass till 7am in the morning, keeping half the street awake. They dont seem to realise that at night time most people like to sleep! I wouldnt mind it so much during the day.
