I am going to be honest, I am having a pretty rough day. Our oldest son lives with us and he woke me up at 12:30 am to tell me he had just been robbed at gunpoint. He is fine, but I am not sure I am. He was at a friend's house which is not in the best neighborhood and he had stepped outside for a smoke as they don't smoke in their house and was standing under a streetlight (it was about 11:00) when a couple guys popped around the corner with hoodies pulled tight over their faces and a gun. They took his wallet but left his car keys and cell phone. He is off today to get a new driver's license and has been calling credit card companies etc.
The two things that are bothering me the most is that the police said the only reason he would be there is for a drug deal and that they weren't wasting their time on looking for the robbers for a drug deal gone bad. He told them that wasn't why he was there and they kept insisting it was. It has made me lose a little faith in the police department.
The other thing is that somebody pointed a gun AT MY BABY (I don't care if he is 27 he is still my baby) and my first thought was that I wanted to track the bugger down and beat the crap out of him. Now THAT is not a particularly Christian thought which is why I need the prayer. I am going to need a little help forgiving this one......
