Sobering thoughts...

Some sobering thoughts post Thanksgiving. From Sightings and Martin Marty's regular email comes this short article - a quick window into how some young lives are shattered.
"I thought about “want” the other day in the lockup at the courthouse where I work.  I am a public defender in Chicago, and I start each workday in the place behind the courtroom where prisoners are held. On this morning, the small, stuffy cell was crammed with people."

Wheat Ridge has given grants to congregations focused on at-risk young people in a variety of places... perhaps there is an opportunity for ministry in your area?
