Please Pray

I am about 99% certain I know the victim of this senseless beating. Click here.

If my memory serves me right, he is the son of a college classmate of mine from the college right across the freeway from where this beating took place--less than a mile away. When I knew Sage, he was twelve years old. I have a few phone calls out to friends to confirm, but how many Sage Herron's are there in the world?

Please pray. One newscast of his injuries tonight said he may not survive his injuries. If Sage's father is who I think it is, I am sure he is on his knees right now praying to God to save his son. Please remember him in your prayers if you think about this.

If I can, I might make a trip to the hospital tonight. I can't imagine what his family is going through right now. Please also pray the culprits are caught.

UPDATE: Sage is my friend's son. I went to the hospital tonight and the family wasn't receiving visitors, understandably. One news report said that Sage's injuries are so bad homicide detectives were called to the scene.

I may not be able to visit the family, but I can pray. Lord, watch over this family. Take ahold of their hearts and keep them. Please give Your mighty healing to Sage. I thank you, Lord, that he knows you. Please provide comfort and strength to Sage's parents and siblings. You have ordered Sage's days, You are the Giver and Taker of life. We ask that you heal Sage and give him life. Please send the support and help to this family that they need. Because of the news coverage they are understandably being private. I pray You allow those people into their privacy that can give what they need right now. Only You can heal and fix such a situation, and I look to You to bring that to us now. Thank you Lord!
