Schools look to churches for refuge after the fire

We have just witnessed a tragedy in our county school system. One of our schools was destroyed in a terrible fire. Who was the first to step up to help? A house of God provided a place for the students to gather until they could be safely transported home. Then the next day not one but several of God's houses made safe places for the students to discuss their fears and concerns with school counselors.

I believe God is telling us that He needs to be welcomed back in our schools. What could we do that would be better for our students? Only God can help us take back our schools and our country.

So long as there are students taking tests, there will always be prayer in schools. What more could God ask?

Mr. Fields,
I count myself as a person of faith, but your LTE is a stretch on most counts. Prayer should be practiced more at home while reading, writing and arithmetic should be practiced more in school. FYI: The theocrats were turned away at the polls.

nemo & Deacon, you speak my mind!

If God is not welcome in the schools of this land; then God is not omniscient & omnipotent!

Shalom
