If you don't know about the Steubenville story, you can find it here:
The events at Steubenville really hit close to home for me. Not only did it repulse me, but it throw gas on the fire inside me that aches for wounded women. This young lady, most definitely has some serious wounds to deal with now. Fortunately, we have Savior that is more than able to heal those wounds and make her whole. I pray that people are placed in her life that will point her toward that healing.
No doubt that these young men also have heart wounds over this, and Jesus is more than able and more than willing to heal these young men also. I pray that He uses this for their good, and that a testimony of His grace and mercy is built to further the Kingdom.
A good friend of mine, Ginny Couch posted this blog post on Facebook yesterday and after reading it, I felt compelled to share this as well. I think it's important, especially to those parents raising sons, but I also feel like daughters need to realize as early as possible how the Father regards them. If they don't know how their Heavenly Father regards them, how will they ever have high enough standards of how boys/men should treat them?
Please take the time to read and if led, share this blog post.
Things that happened in Steubenville happen far more often than we realize, and with a little perspective and awareness, we can raise up men and women that don't tolerate incidents like this.
