Raising the Bar

Tonight I was sitting in a high school watching a high school play. Usually when I think of a high school play, I think of fun, innocent, you know like the kind that you leaves all happy. Well tonight that wasn't the case for me at all. This play had students, swearing all the way through it, making several sexual remarks, having a gay couple get engaged, and a seen where girls and guys were dancing so provocatively that you almost felt like you were in a strip club! Maybe I'm old-fashioned or something, but I really believe that high school plays should not be like that. I think it's so inappropriate and sad! I can't imagine what it would be like 10 years from now when my daughters in high school.
After the play I got to my car and felt like I need to start raising the bar in my life. I really was convicted with the stuff that I watch or just all the inappropriate things that we all joke around about. All the conversations that are meaningless. I really feel like it's time to raise the bar and make standards that don't budge no matter what. I really want to strive to live life differently, even though it's not the popular thing to do.
