I was listening to the "retoric" of the GOP's pick for President.. ..and he began to preach that the "lowering of standards" would end and that expectations would be raised, and that "No child would be left behind" I'm a reasonable Royal Ranger Commander, and I know I have "left boys behind" for their wild behavior seemed to block their reasoning and abilities to recieve the most basic instruction.. In the majority of Ranger outposts we have children who do not know why they are there or what to do with the expectations we set. This is very discourageing to a adult leader who attemps to provide a balanced temperment and full plate of features, as described in the LTC! When we attempt to give a 'devotion... and every indicator is that a perticular boy is inattentive, or disruptive, or wild... *Can we expect the convicting power of the Holy Spirit to override the *passions of the flesh,in the boy, so that a true and honest lifechangeing confession of faith in Jesus by the act of a raised hand, be taken on face value as our spiritual *mission accomplished? Does "salvation" require the understanding and agreement of the 'wild child? -=A=- -- ��ࡱ� _______ To unsubscribe, send "unsubscribe rangernet" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Eat the hay & spit out the sticks! - A#1's mule" RTKB&G4JC! http://rangernet.org Autoresponder: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
