research...

There are definately treasures to be had in this collection of research, experience, and observation, but as I sit here listening to my printer churn out a 37 page annotated-with-table-of-contents- bibliography I can't help but wonder how it is that our culture has to generate that much research in order to discover how to love kids and how to help them put their faith in God. Part of me understands but part of me doesn't. We wonder why parents have no confidence- why they feel the need for experts in order to have confidence that they're "doing it right".
