In the inner city one of the biggest issues that we face as we work with people here is Anger. Anger is such a hindrance facing many of the people that I talk with, meet with and pray with. Many times there anger is also what leads them to become addiction. Today we learn that a man named Chico was arrested last night, some of you might recognize his name, I have often talked about Chico and how he has such a great heart, he is always helping us out, helping other people. But Chico has issues with Alcohol; he also has an issue with anger. Chico had an argument with a couple of the girls that hang out on our corner a few nights ago and the story was he pulled a gun on them but he said “it legal, I have it registered.” Well last night something happed again and Chico ended up getting arrested, and Gwen on of the girls is now in the hospital with brain injures. The story on the street is that Chico hit her in the head and she is now in the hospital. She had to have brain surgery last night.
Chico has been coming to our bible study since we began it in the summer of 2007, he comes on Saturday mornings and helps serve at time. When we had the store Chico would help us out all the time. For a long time now we have been investing in Chico, seeing him as a person of peace, some one who had the potential of begin someone if he came to know Christ could influence many others. And now we have no idea what will become of Chico. It is so frustrating
