I was going to write about my wife and I celebrating our sixth anniversary today (I'm very happy and blessed to have her as my wife) but while writing I heard a very disturbing story on the news and I have to share it. A social worker found a ten year old girl locked in a closet and severally malnourished. They went on to say that they found her by tracing the strong smell of urine which led them to the locked closet. They said that she only weighed thirty eight pounds and was wearing a 2T t-shirt. For anybody who doesn't have children let me put this into perspective, my three and a half year old son weighs that or more and wears a 4T t-shirt. One of the neighbors said that the little girl was in the fetal position, clinging to the social worker and that her little legs were so skinny and bony that it brought her to tears. I'm having a hard time writing this because I can't fathom why or how somebody could do something like that to a dog, let alone a child. The
most ironic, horrible detail that I've left out is that the mother was out eating with the girl's other two siblings.
How in the world could somebody treat anybody like that? Especially their own flesh and blood? This sick, disgusting world is worsening and worsening with every new day. It breaks my heart to think about how depraved people are getting and what new evils they will invent for no apparent reason other than some kind of sick, hateful amusement. Romans 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting.
This is the only thing that I can think of which could possibly explain the behavior of this little girl's mother and all the others in this world who are just plain evil.
