Missing Generation
It occurred to me the other day, that it seems people my age are missing from the world in general. It is not just at church or ministry, but in general. I know people who are 18 to 22, then 32 and older. There are a few that fall in that missing age group like me, but really, only a few. I have noticed this at my job, at church, almost everywhere I go. I don't really know where the official breaks in generations are, but I have noticed this age group in largely missing. I don't know if they have all been aborted, or if maybe I forgot to grow up, and get a real job. Maybe they are just living a different life than me. Maybe they have all choose to get an education, and start their careers, buy houses and start a family, none of which I have done. Maybe they all spend their free time hanging out in bars, which I don't do. So it is possible that they are out there somewhere in the world, and I just don't know where they are. It is possible that I am in the wrong places and have missed too many boats. Regardless they are missing from my life, and I find that interesting. Its not that I do not have friends, I do, they almost all fall in the older or younger category. If anyone reads this and has some thoughts on it, I'd like to hear. Just something that I noticed.

Haha - somehow I ended up at your site and I laughed at this entry. I am in this "missing generation" age range that you speak of and I totally understand what you're saying!
I totally agree. Most of my friends are younger or older than me.... but i never fit well with people my own age.... so guess it works out pretty well.
