Dear God,

I know you are really busy but I think there is something that needs your attention here.  Tonight there is another news story about people reporting child abuse and nothing being done.  The little boy died.  Lately it seems there have been a bunch of those types of stories, even stories about kids dying in foster homes.  Maybe you are just opening my eyes to these stories because I'm a foster mom now or maybe they are becoming more common.  ARGH.  Either way, you know how much I wish I could just protect all the little ones and since I can't do that, I'm asking you to do it for me.  For them.  I am sick of hearing stories like the one on the news tonight and I don't doubt you are too.  Please, please, hold that baby tonight.  Thank you.
