The music was(professional to say the least) entertaining but void of worship, the preaching was hip(no message just entertaining). The appearance would have been the same at a Baptist convention. The Nation youth director was introduced his wife showed more cleavage than the girls at Hooters(never been there mind you) and a slit up to the middle of her thigh, loop earings and makeup. I left brokenhearted. The young men looked like 'gangsta rappers.' We had our conference a few years ago in Nashville at the same time the Youth conference was going on. It was indeed enlightening. NO one would have confused our young folks and those attending this meeting with the exception of a very few.

This is a sad reality. My children have seen so little of what I used to commonly experience everywhere I traveled. Times are a changin', but I do not see where this is for the better. God bless you Elder!
