Tom Maluga just called us from Safe Families (an organization we work with that places at-risk children in safe homes)... a 1 day old baby girl who needs a home for 3 to 6 months. We're going to pick her up from the hospital tomorrow.
If you know how to pray, pray for us, that God will work through us and also in our own family, to take our family to the next level of love for others and each other.posted by Chaddo 1/17/2008 05:25:00 PM

Here is more information on the shooting that I wrote about in my previous post.
My friend who grew up in this neighborhood (see this video for his testimony) called and told me that Cease Fire is holding a vigil for the girl. We're definitely going to be involved... don't know how deep they'll let us go but pray that we can share the good news and comfort the dying.posted by Chaddo 12/20/2007 07:40:00 AM

This shooting happened around the corner from our house. We didn't hear the gunshots because of all the snow.
Here is a quote from the article:
"Alexandra’s family said Sunday night she was not involved in gangs."
If I could have a dollar for every time I heard parents and family of gangmembers say this, I'd be rich.
I don't know Alexandra or her family, we mostly know the people on our block. For all I know Alexandra's parents are LaRazas too and just covering up. But one of the big problems is that parents have no idea what their kids are doing, or they are choosing to ignore it. I think it says something about how intentionally they are parenting and training and pouring into their kids.
Now obviously, kids will make their own choices, they have free will. But something as serious and consuming as gang involvement needs drastic action... a wake up call.posted by Chaddo 12/17/2007 10:14:00 AM
