Janet,
If you and Frapper keep your prayer requests for any time at all, you will find
one
there from me. Basicly I was requesting prayer for our schools, our kids,
teachers
and administrators. I had one of my ranger boys walk into the bathroom at his
small town middle school and find the words "Columbines' Coming"written on the
wall. Admittedly, this is not the caliber of thing that you run into on a day to
day
basis, but I didn't have to face that kind of scare when I was in school,did you?
So in short, Janet, I am glad that you are "going into length"on this subject. I
wish
more people would. At least you care enough to say something, and to propose
some kind of solution. Thank You!
In His Service
Mike Rogers.
