I have been known to drop some serious guilt when people get like that during worship. I don’t mean to do it, but I can’t stand the irreverence to God. I hold back from what I want to say though.

I am praying for both of the girls. They both need something special from God.

A sinner is not a bad person though. If they were bad then why would God want to redeem them?

I have seen these students do some very kind things. I tend to think they are acting out their own pain much like you have to struggle against doing so with your own wife and kids. If you have a bad day at work and come home and make a snide remark to your wife and it hurts her feelings, does that make you a bad person?

I was bullied all the time as a kid. I look back now and I feel for the kids that picked on me. I know most of them, if not all of them, were lost. I know they didn’t get the love that I did. I know they weren’t bad people.

Good advice. I can see a little Hungarian Helen bringing the pain. I’m surprised anyone would keep pushing for your ire.

I have talked with all of them but not the kinda deep stuff that would help. I think I need to build that relationship so I can know how they will respond and help them.

This is more along the lines of what I think I’ll be doing. I need to build a better relationship with all of them anyways.

I looked at the program. It appears to be targeted to a younger audience though. I have access to many great programs that are more appropriate for a younger audience through an agency I work with in town. Older students might respond to a program like this, but more than likely they will mock it with their friends while wishing they could respond to it without being mocked.

They’re causing problems but they’re not bad? They’re sinning, regardless of what is going on in their life they still have the opportunity to do what’s right.

I know how you feel, you want to be with them, hug them and tell them it’ll be okay. I guess it starts with finding out what the deep issues are. The Holy Spirit is the perfect counselor. Listen to what He says and translate that to the problem youth.

I was bullied a lot in middle school. With a name like Charlie Chang and Asian it was hard NOT to be bullied. I cried a lot. Now I have to work on not bullying my wife or kids.
