Where can a kid be a kid?

It's hell being a kid today. Okay, maybe it always has been, but...

A couple months ago a woman beat her boyfriend up with her infant child, swinging the kid like a baseball bat. The kid survived, but with severe brain damage...

The other day in Lousiana, parents slept on a mattress while a pit bull puppy chewed off four of their one month old daughter's toes...

In Philadelphia a guy punched his 17-month old daughter in the face twice because she may have broken his video game...killling her...

The woman whose boyfriend drowned her three kids because they were getting in the way of their relationship was convicted of child endangerment...talk about understatement...

Maybe it's always been hell being a kid, but it seems like I'm hearing more and more about it now and it sickens me.

I just want to yell at God on days like today. Where were you? What were you doing that morning when some too young to be a father but too stupid not to be kid punches out his daughter over a freaking video game?

Probably holding her while she cried...since no one else did...probably holding her while she died...since on one else would...

No warm fuzzy christmas story here...this world we live in needs Jesus now more than ever... 'cause it's not just hell being a kid these days...it's hell being poor...being gay...having cancer...being adicted...being schizophrenic...being alone...

You know I'm sooo sick of the song "Mary Did You Know?" But I just heard it sung at the service I was at - by a voice past its prime, a little unsteady and a little warbly...but I couldn't help but think of this stuff happenening when I hear it...

Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will one day walk on water?
Did you know
That your baby boy will save our sons and daughters?
Did you know
That your baby boy has come to make you new?
This child that youve delivered
Will soon deliver you
Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will give sight to a blind man?
Did you know
That your baby boy will calm a storm with his hand?
Did you know
That your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
And when you kiss your little boy
Youve kissed the face of god
Mary, did you know?
The blind will see
The deaf will hear
And the dead will live again
The lame will leap
The dumb will speak
The praises of the lamb
Mary, did you know
That your baby boy is lord of all creation?
Did you know
That your baby boy will one day rules the nations?
Did you know
That your baby boy is heavens perfect lamb?
This sleeping child youre holding
Is the great I am
