         (Dad:) Don't worry about our young people, they're going to be all right. I can see you're having to pass through some of the tests that I did, back in the beginning days of the Family when we were just starting out. My faith really got tested with some of you guys. But look at you--you did great! As long as I just held on, and kept on loving you and showing faith in you, you did great, and you eventually came around.
         Think of yourself in your teen years. You guys all had your quirks, too, didn't you?--And your own ideas! But look at what you did! You started a whole revolution! You stood up and defied the System, and the world has been seeing and feeling the repercussions to this day. And they're gonna hear more in the future! They're gonna hear more through your kids and your grandkids--my great grandkids! Don't worry, Honey! God is in control.
         I know sometimes you just wish they would learn and do things the right way. But don't worry about it. They're learning and you'll all learn as you keep going. Just think back, and think about how you were at that age. Boy, you guys were a handful! And thank God you were, or the Family wouldn't be here today! The Lord used all that fire and that zest and that zeal and you started a revolution!
         So don't get frustrated if the kids don't do things this way or that way. On most things it doesn't matter that much! They'll learn in time. You did! You learned, and you pulled through.
