A year ago, a young girl in Emory, Texas, planned the murders of her entire family. Her boyfriend and two others assisted in carrying out the awful crime. But they left a survivor. The girl's father, despite being shot multiple times and left for dead in a burning house, managed to escape through a window and painfully make his way to a neighbor's home for help.
The Dallas Morning News ran a special series last week detailing his experience and the aftermath. One of the things he commented on just boggles my mind. He said, "Emory has a lot of bisexual kids; it's like it was almost cool to be bisexual. One of the first things that happened [when they first sent their children to school there] was some girl wanted to be Erin's little girlfriend. And I was like, 'That ain't happenin'.'"
The population of rural Emory is 1,200. If what he says is true, we have degenerated far further than even I thought. I had heard rumors that there were quite a few "confused" girls as young as junior high in our local school district, but for some reason, that didn't shock me as much as this. I guess because our school district is so much bigger.
Parents, you better get a hold on your kids! Satan is attacking them, and without some Bible-based guidance and discipline, he'll wrest them out of your hands as surely as the sun's coming up in the morning! From all appearances, this man did everything right, but Satan was still able to grab this girl through her associations with people who weren't getting the positive training she was. Be good role models for your kids, watch what they watch, monitor their computer and cell phone usage, know who they're associating with, and pray, pray, pray!
