At the meeting last night three of our youths got publicly reproved. It was a painfully long announcement as one by one the names were read along with their accompanying restrictions.
And you sit there kind of shocked and metally running through all these mental guesses as to how they sinned. Ultimately you conclude sex because it is always the most likely. You are hurt because you care for them. Then you wise up and are relieved that they showed repentance and stuck it out as you consider all the youths you have seen leave over the years. Then you reflect on your own lesser moments and for a minute or two you feel the pain all over again.
