The forgotten ones - Let us remember and never forget



Dear Family of God (Love) and Pilgrims on our Journey,


Tonight we received a prayer request from one of our family members whose son has been missing for a month, his name is Steven. Please pray that they hear from him and that he is found safe. Please pray for his mother Sandi and step-dad Wayne who was a classmate of mine in elementary school. No parent should have to endure not knowing what has happened to their beloved child when they have gone missing. I am going to put on my strong voice now,and this is directed to our law enforcement and media. All missing persons should be treated as Amber alerts.This means from our most vulnerable infant to our most senior family member. No exceptions.  More attention must be paid to all of our mentally ill and addicted family members as well. We all remember the days when our milk cartons had missing children on them. I think those need to make return and be on cereal boxes, frozen dinners, and that old milk carton. We all have a responsibility to keep our eyes and ears open around us wherever  we are and especially out walking. I think every media outlet be it in print, televised, and online should have a daily focus on the missing, exploited, and yes even on some of our local cold cases. All it takes is one memory from us to help make these our family members who are sometimes forgotten back in to the forefront of our memory. So please dear ones keep your eyes open. You might just help find the next Elizabeth Smart.
