I believe we won't ever be fully mature until we're exactly like God.

And despite what some of us choose to believe here, we still have a LONG way to go...

... except for those of us who are already there, but nobody here is there.

And btw, there is nothing at all wrong with being a child, but somehow being "childish" is bad???

And yes I do know what some people mean, but it still gives good children a bad rep.

Depends on who's acting "childish"....lol
I think we all need to keep that child inside of us.... it helps clear the cloudy days.
But acting childish has to have it's place and time....

I can think of many "ADULTS" that do not act as mature as my 14 yr old so I think maturity is really something we gain with time I look back at some of the things i said an did in my mid to early twenties and think I must have been the most immature person around. I look at my Daughter and I would put her up against any other child her age no problem in most cases but there are just SO many things out there and no way for me to help her prepare for them all and I think we as a people tend to fall back on the more immature side of our nature when we are faced with new and unfamiliar things.

I guess what I am trying to say is I don't know when they are if there is a magical age when one minute your immature and the next mature but we have about 18 years or so to prepare them the best we can.

I really agree with your comment. Thanks.....
