Just Too Much

Last week a 14 year old young man in our building was having troubles with his Mother and went missing for a time. One of our neighbors had organized a group of other kids in the building and was going door to door looking for any helpful information of where he might be. Then a couple of days after that we noticed him running around the fields and parking lots with what looked like a "toy" rifle of some sort. Toy isn't really a good choice of words...it looked real. Really real! I knew he would get into trouble eventually and blew it off. Sure enough, the next day I saw him running through the fields again and he did look very authentic. Running really fast and holding the damn rifle like he was actually in pursuit of someone. Someone called police and within minutes they knew who he was and where he lived. Hopefully, he can learn the importance of public perception! And now Lino Police is reporting an increase in home burglaries and car thefts. AND the manhunt that happened yesterday in and around the Cities was very disturbing. (To say the least) Then to cap it all off, I got a call right before bed telling me that a friend of mine was going thru severe mental issues with her son. Somehow got some decent sleep and feel like I am keeping afloat within a surging sea of the thing we call "Life" swirling around me. I am praying for a peaceful day! For all.
