Ok, I know a common stigma for college-age people is that they’re “flakey.” I wanted to throw out a couple thought’s on this:
(1) It’s true in many cases, but not all.
(2) I have found that they’re only flakey in things they don’t find valuable.
(3) Inconsistency of life and thought is the reason they’re considered to be adolescents, so this should not surprise us.
(4) I think over the years I’ve ran into more that aren’t this way than those who are.
(5) Although I’m more consistent with my “yes” being yes than most of them, I think I’m still this way…but I’ve just learned to make it spiritual.
(6) If we get excited about the teachable moments of this rather than frustrated with inconsistency we can have very meaningful discussions.
(7) They can also be exactly the opposite when they’re passionate about something. The key is to show them people who are passionate about the right things!
(8) Patience and a willingness to pay the price of time is what we need.
