The Christian Conservative Librarian

 This comes from a part of a thread of a Twitter feed, in which someone asked what made a book Christian.  This is my response. Nature is glorious and dangerous.  Nature is not a god or gods. Humans are created in the image of their Creator.   Humans have a great deal of good and evil.   The world is built on natural laws.   There are moral absolutes.   There are sin and redemption.   There is a need for a sacrifice.  Forgiveness and restoration are possible.  God, the creator is in control.

I would suggest a little reality therapy.  Charge him rent for his room, meals, laundry service, and his percentage of the utilities, for as long as he's out of school. He can work some of that off by attending alternative high school.  Many school districts have these alternative options.  If your school district doesn't have some thing like this, then check with your public library or community colleges for GED prep classes.  He won't make enough on YouTube with only 64 subscribers.   He could work off more of his costs by taking GED prep tests and career aptitude tests by from companies like Learning Express and Gale's Testing and Educational Reference powered.   by Peterson's. This is not a bad deal.  Not all students do well in the typical high school.  But check with the teache...
