We pray for our kids every day...and wish them the gifts of faith and wisdom.
A boy in my class was severely burned when I was a kid, playing around with a can of gas and fire. Unrecognizable when he finally returned to school, skin grafts all over his face and parts of his scalp, as well as arms and upper torso. The kids were afraid of him, he went from a friendly, well-liked kid to angry and remained that way. Pity.
