A Boy
There is this boy, who had it all. He had a great girlfriend and his best friend who rode BMX with him. This boy was growing in his relationship with christ and slowely but steadily progressing in the sport of BMX, and being with his friends and girlfreind. He was set, he had everything all planned and worked out. On on mid-Christmas Break day the boy and his best friend were riding. They were flying thruough the air like bird with such grace it was amazing. Later that day, the boy's best friend had built up enough courage to pedal as fast as he could to jump this new jump that the boy had made. The friend pedalled and pedalled his heart out, he approached the lip of the jump and helled on for dear life. To what seamed to be a good amount of air and hangtime the friend did not have enough speed to clear the jump. His front tire clipped the back of the rock infested landing, and the friend flipped over the handle bars and severed his spinal cord. through the next two and a half days the boy sat and waited at the hospital for some great news, only to find out that the friend had requested not to live if he would have no use of his arms or upper half of his body. The friends parents respected this request and so they waited for him to pass in that hospital bed. When the time came and the friend passed this boy had just lost everything he had ever known. Through the sorrow of his loss he pushed away his girlfreind and walked away from his faith once again to get back into the bad habbit of drinking and drugging away his problems, only to find out that it doesnt fix them forever, it only fixes the problems tempararily. One summer morning the boy awoke the worst hangover of his life. He decided this wasnt him, he wasnt brought into this world to do these things. He was there to spread the word and worship christ and have a great life. So the boy went to his youth pastor who he hadn't seen in months and the pastor put the boy on a bus with the rest of this amazing group to a camp. Through the course of the week at this camp in the mountains of California he began to come back to his faith that he loved so, and he bacame to love his faith so much more then before that it was the most amazing thing he had felt for the longest time. Before camp had come to an end this boy decided not just to go home and end up with the bad things this world has created but to stay with the good things the people of christ have discovered and created.
Once the boy was home the real world set in, but he would not let it break him. This boy now and still lives in cave creek, rides everyday, attends church as much as humanly possible and tries to stay away from all the things that had hurt him and hurt others through him.
