32. Growing up in the Bible Belt, I found there was always a group |

of kids who went from one extreme to the other - they'd be falling down drunk or wasted on whatever the drug of the day was one week and then they'd go to church camp and get "saved" and wouldn't even say the word "shit" much less take even a sip of alcohol.
I think people are so desperate today for some meaning in their lives that they will pretty much try anything. Eventually some of these folks will go back to their old ways - if they ever even really stopped them. I remember one couple I babysat for who used to drive to Atlanta and rent a motel room and sit around and drink because they couldn't do it in our "small" town (100,000 people!) for fear that someone from their church would see them.
