I know Paul didn't live in a Christian neighborhood. We are each called to live in different areas and I'm not called to live in Rome. I am believing less and less that we will be relocating to Kentucky.
The MAIN reason I am concerned about the neighborhood we live in is that we adopted an 8 year old foster child that came from a pretty rough background. He is VERY impressionable and tends to migrate toward the wrong crowd. I have to monitor everywhere he goes and everyone he spends time with. I put him in a different school a few years ago, which really helped, and now he is only allowed to participate in church activities or closely monitored activities. Deep down, he is a very sweet kid, that just needs loving parents and someone to help him make the right decisions. He has come a LONG way since he has been living with us, but he still has issues and has a long way to go.
So having said that, if you can show me where Paul had and adopted Foster boy that previously was given drugs by his birth parents and lived on the streets most of the time, then I will consider what you and the others have to say.
Thanks and God bless!!
