I came across the story of some 8th graders in Lexington, Kentucky who committed such a terrible act that the local police had to be called in. The mother of a fellow student had been killed in a car accident, and so these students decided to pray for the kid who lost his mom. These students knew that they couldn’t pray during class times, so they gathered during lunch to pray. They say that the school administrators came and told them to be quiet and to sit down, but they refused. So the administration called the police to come deal with these defiant kids. The superintendent said that there was no problem with the students praying, but that they were all going to be late for class.

If I hear the word “bailout” one more time or AIG and bonuses I might just throw the remote through the TV. That of course would be bad because that would mean no more Blue Clues for my sons for a while (but my sanity would be restored from Blues Clues overload).

I have been following a segment on the Today show for a while about people that lost over 100 lbs simply through diet and exercise. Their stories of transformation are both amazing and inspirational, and you feel good for people who identified a problem in their life and worked to be different. A few years ago we were worried about the size 0’s in Hollywood who portrayed a body image that was hardly attainable. Now we seem to have moved more towards health than Hollywood. Whether it’s episodes of the Biggest Loser, new workout routines, or a better diet, there are constant reminders out there that if you’re overweight and unhappy, you don’t have to stay that way.

I am sure you have heard the news about the four men who capsized their boat off the Gulf of Mexico this past weekend. Sadly so far only one survivor has been found and the Coast Guard has called off the search for the other three men. As I heard the news I began to think about how frightening it would be to be lost at sea. I could not imagine being out in the middle of the ocean with no one to talk to, yelling out for help and getting no response. Simply put it would be lonely being lost. This leads me to my focus this morning, thinking about all those in our area who need to know Christ, those who are lost!
