Karen and Frank Boykin are loving, model parents, who are very involved in providing the best upbringing for their two children. Even so, their son Stephen fell prey to the terrible battle of addiction.

Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’   – Luke 15:4-6
