Respect for Life


Every week we hear a news story of a teenager being shot while riding his bike, murdered on the way home from school, set on fire over a video game and even having her throat slit while attending class. This past week it happened to our family. My 20 year old grandson is a Junior at the University of Arizona in Tucson. Last weekend he and his friends were returning home way too late and came upon a group of kids having an altercation. Instead of turning away, they went to see what was going on and he was beaten in the face with a baseball bat. As a result he has broken bones in his forehead, cheek and nose along with a dislocated tooth and is facing surgery next Monday. Somebody deserves an "F" for failing to teach our children the value of human life. Is it the parents? Is it the schools? Is it the church? Or is it all three? Do you know what your children are doing after hours?
