UPDATE: The boy who started the Santa Clarita fire is TEN years old.Thanks for the link and his age. For some reason I thought he might be 10. He seems to have confessed pretty quickly.
Children are gifts from God. I don't think He would want us to be too quick to toss His gifts away.
As posted a few posts earlier, I do feel compassion for this kid, but I haven’t seen any of the kids who lost their homes mentioned on this thread.
Aren’t they due any compassion? I’m not picking on you here. It just astounds me the pitty this kid has received on this thread, and God’s other children have been less than an afterthought throughout.
The comments like, “I sure hope this kid isn’t treated too unfairly.” drive me nuts. I don’t want to see him overly inconvenienced, but folks, get a grip. Whether we like it or not, he burned down the homes of other children, whether we want to focus on that or not. Does Jesus not have compassion for them? Shouldn’t we?
Sheesh!
