Be Young...Be Safe

Today is a cloudy day in my old home state, a cool day as well. I'm enjoying the nice day, though. There is one slight problem that I have seen today. The high school kids are finishing up exams for the day and many of them are driving like maniacs through the narrow downtown street. This concerns me greatly. I know they are excited about getting out of school this week; however, I'm afraid someone is going to get hurt. We have diagonal parking on the street, so backing out of parking spaces can be hazardous sometimes. Well, 2 little girls blew their horn at this guy who was backing out and they threw their arms out of the car yelling. The guy just floored it with the car in reverse, then slammed on the brakes! The girl in the car with the guy let out a scream! (I'm glad she wasn't my daughter). The cars didn't collide but it was a close call, a very irresponsible display of behavior, in my opinion. I think we need to spend a lot of time praying for these young people, that they will be safe, that they will stay happy and healthy, and that they will think of consequences before carrying out any questionable acts.

God bless our young people! I really do enjoy being around them.
