Group of Teens Playing Basketball Kneel to Pay Respects for the Dead
We quite often talk about what is going wrong in our worlds on talk radio so I always search for good news.
While I found one that was reported by Fox News about a group of teenage boys playing basketball at a middle school in Franklinton, Louisiana last Friday.
They had noticed a funeral procession passing by their game and they all immediately stopped their game and took a knee “out of honor” for the deceased and their family.
One of the cousins of the deceased noticed and was quoted in the article stating:
They took a knee not out of disrespect but honor. There was not an adult insight to tell them to stop playing. This meant a great deal to our family...May God bless each one as I feel they will achieve greatness.
We often hear of the youth today having less respect then we did when we were their age, well at least we can say that some do.
