I was so angry...

This evening, as I was pulling into John DeShields I saw a group of about 15 kids running towards my car. I stopped my car to find out why they were running and saw that they were all chasing after a boy who was about 14 years old. As they ran past my car, most of the faces I saw were kids that I knew. I saw one boy grab a large wooden plank and run towards the 14 year old. One boy punched him and another boy hit him with the wooden plank. After they got a few hits in, they began to run because I believe they saw police car. I was so angry at these kids! I rolled my window down and began yelling at them because I was so furious with them. These were all kids, mostly boys, that I have watched grow up and who also come to the Friday Night Teen Ministry. So, when I saw them running towards the fight instead of running away from or trying to stop the fight, I burned with a Godly anger. The boy at the head of the group was a boy who I have heard is claiming a specific gang. Since this boy who is claiming a gang is hard towards me and may not listen to what I would say, I'm believing God to show me the right time to talk to his mother about my concern for him. After the fight, I went home to cool down. I hadn't felt that mad in a long time. My heart just broke for these boys. I don't want to see them turn into gang members, drug dealers or end up in jail.
