How Young Will the Next Generation OD?
I came home with a burdened heart from subbing in a Jr. High School today. Even though my classes were angelic (for 7th and 8th graders), we had a problem in the last half of the day which, I am sure, will cause many issues to arise. One of the students overdosed on drugs today. In a Junior High school, that would make that student no more than 12 or 13 years old. My heart hurts for this child. I would like to say it hurts for this child's parents as well, but I am almost certain that the parents "taught" this poor baby how to do it. How does one take a situation like this? With sadness? Of course. With concern for the other students? Naturally. With anger? HELL YES! Whoever gave or sold this little girl the drugs should be shot on sight and hung from the nearest tree with a sign around his neck that says, "This is what happens to corruptors of Children." Someone that sells drugs to a twelve year old has no remorse...no conscience...no soul...
I ask for prayers from my Muslim Brothers and Sisters and also from my Christian friends and family. God hears those prayers. Pray that this baby can be healed of this problem for good and all, and that God may deal with the guilty ones in His own way. If it were up to me, I'd say "burn, monster, burn", but I know that God has his own way of dealing with them, which may include compassion and mercy. (That's why God is God and not me.) Pray for all the lost children.
