I am so deeply saddened and frightened that our children are being taken, stolen, abducted, raped, sodomized, asphyxiated, butchered- murdered in the largest sense. What is happening in this culture that is creating such a rash of soullessness? We can’t say it’s lack of religion- we’ve got tons of that. Is it the weight of the world, the pressures of consumerism, the generation of people parented by alcoholics, drug addicts, violent abusers, sexual molesters and those riddled with chronic depression and debilitating illness?
You can tell me that statistics say only 1 in blah blah thousands of children get taken but that won’t help. It’s still happening. It is changing the face of how we live and what freedoms our children will have or have not. Will I need to homeschool Roan just to make sure that I’m with her, that she’s being protected? Will the front yard become a place of potential danger instead of the dream I thought having a home would be?
When I say our children I mean it. Every child belongs to us on a spiritual level because we are all connected within God. When they hurt, the face of humanity receives a tearing, jagged rip. They are our future. What can we do today to make certain they know compassion, understanding, unconditional love, kindness and patience?
Please pray for the children, our diseased culture and each other.
