Another student bites the dust

I had student expelled from school yesterday. He was involved in a fight and he took a major cheap shot on a kid and injured him pretty badly. Fights happen in every school, but there is no excuse for a cheapshot that really can injure someone.

I really have a heart for the student who got expelled. (I don't know the other boys.) He is a bright kid from a terrible home. His mom has a boyfriend who abuses her. The student tried to stand up to the man and then his mom kicked the student out of the house. School is a safe place for him, but he doesn't see the value in the work. He was a 17 year old freshman.

All that being said, he has to take responsibility for his own life. The sins of the family definitely do affect future generations. But, by the grace of God, some of these students can overcome those sins.

My prayer for him is that he doesn't take the easy way out now. I pray he gets a job, learns to work, and becomes a good man. My fear is that he will get into trouble and be in prison within a year or two.

Please pray for this boy that he becomes a man.
