What do we say to this 13 year-old boy?
For that matter, please tell me why. If we are a Christian nation, as so many people declare, why are our children asking us "why"? Why, when somebody needs somebody, we don't lend a helping hand? Why do our little boys have to learn violence in order to be considered men? Why is it that we don't care about those who are hungry and in need until a natural disaster catches our attention? And then we only care as long as CNN continues to cover the situation 24 hours a day? Why do so many of those who claim to be followers of Jesus put "our way of life" and "our interests as a nation" ahead of the beatitudes, and ahead of the only new commandment that Jesus gave us - "Love one another"? Tell me why.
