“We have known too many kids, like the younger son in the parable, who have separated themselves from their parents, thrown off the traces, and heard in the lure of the far country . . . the promise of adventure and boundless pleasure. And for so many this has turned to ashes. The grand and reckless fling ends in shabby dependence, and it matters not whether we are thinking of the muck of the pig pen then or the crazy emptiness of a drugged-out life now. We have seen the once carefree spirits sooner or later impale themselves on their own stupidity [David Wells, Losing Our Virtue (Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, 1998), pp. 46-47]
