We met an 18-year old homeless young man tonight on NightWatch. We found him emergency shelter for the weekend. And we told him about Joseph’s House (Greensboro) and I Am Now (High Point), the local transitional living programs for homeless young men. We’re praying that one of them will have an opening for him.

A few days ago, I posted quotes from a conversation with a cop friend, discussing the problem of juvenile crime and his contention that the ultimate responsibility lies with parents who fail to instill discipline, morality and a sense of responsibility in their children. His point was well illustrated on Tuesday evening at Oak Hill Elementary School in High Point, where a group of parents got into brawl while their children were onstage performing a holiday program. (That’s “holiday” as opposed to “Christmas.” The Guilford County School system is careful to protect students from Jesus. But I’m thinking that Jesus was just exactly who they needed in that school on Tuesday night.)
