Bare knuckle boxing

Lachlan Broken Hand 12-05-1
It’s official. The Blog has been neglected this week.

My thirteen year son old took a swipe at this fourteen year old brother last week and connected.

Fortunately for the fourteen year old he has a thick skull. Unfortunate for the thirteen year old. He broke a bone in his hand.

Six days now of doctor’s surgeries, x-ray departments and the children’s hospital.

They operate on his hand tomorrow to insert a pin. No basket-ball for three months. Worse than death.

A tip from a doctor—next time hit your brother in the stomach. It’s softer.

Highlight: sitting in the emergency ward as hours passed by. Watching the people who came in for treatment—African, Turkish, Chinese, Aussie-Anglo, even French. A United Nations of injured and sick children and concerned parents. Sensing something of God’s love for the whole human family.

Christ came for them.

    Steve,

    In an odd way your boys are an encouragement to me. I have two and a little girl, 7, 5, 1. I’m sure I’ll be sitting in the same seat as you in the future. The boys love each other and are such good kids yet they beat on each other all the time. Thanks for posting and leading the charge in planting churches.

    Two boys in this house too – wrestling being an all important ritual between the sons and me.

    Funny that the wife doesn’t seem to understand!!

    Bet you five bucks we have a hospital trip the same as yours in a few years time…
