Somebody Who Cares

Our Youth in America unfortunalty has been added to the list of people Americans do not want to deal with. They have been placed on a backburner being titled as useless or not worth the effort. There was a time when peole (parents, teachers, grandparents, uncles, aunts, pastors, ect.) took time to teach and mentor these people. By mentoring we are molding these young peoples lives. If we do not take the time to do it they will search until they find someone who does. There is always someone wanting to be looked up to for all the wrong reasons. I asked a gang leader why most of the people joined his gang he said to have a family that would always stand behind them. There is more commeraderie in Gangs today than in homes or churches. That is why the gangs are so prevelant. It has become my true desire to reach out to the people no one else wants. Homeless, drug addicts, and today's youth. I hope you all will search your hearts and find something to do to make a difference. Satan's biggest con is busyness. All it takes is a conversation. Start one with someone today.
