I know massage...it's not the "root" but was a snowball affect
thereafter. I agree that in today's society we cannot say one religion
is right over another but, each is allowed to believe or not in what
they do, and schools should at least allow those that have their
religion/faith, to pray in school should they want to, and those that
don't don't.

Removing prayer altogether is not a solution to solving the diversity
and faith issue. I am surprised that in todays world, that it was not
amended to accommodate all, as one would think, in acceptance and
understanding. Those that want to are allowed and those that don't,
don't. How complicated is that?

Personal responsibility, discipline and respect left schools long ago.
Kid's no longer fear consequences for their actions in school.

Do they even stand and sing the national anthem's anymore in schools?

Sound's good! Rear in gear girl, lol. Fresh, hot coffee on the way.
Nice, big fire to dry out the bones and get all toasty.....don't want ya
on the yellow bus all soggy this morning

Oh! We need to get a big honking fire going then, a fresh pot of coffee

Is it the childs prayer or the Lord's Prayer that is being referred to
as religious fanaticism, disgusting, spiritually destructive, and
spreads ignorance, bigotry, and fear?

I remember the Lord's Prayer in school. We didn't have to have armed
security guards, metal detectors, narcotic dogs randomly inspecting our
lockers, public health nurses handing out condoms and birth control
pills to 12 year olds or give drug and alcohol counciling. Nor was it
rampant of teachers having sex and relationships with 12-15 year olds.
I got an education and didn't go to school in fear of being kidnapped,
molested, drugged, raped, shot, stabbed or killed.

And things are much better in schools now, now that they have removed
the Lord's Prayer?

Is terrible, yes. All over the new's here. One man, so much tragedy.
From what I can gather, they say there were warning signs but didn't put
the pieces together fast enough? We were in shock at work when we
heard, but so many different stories about what was happening throughout
the day.

Morning grey hun. Bad day yesterday... Stepped back for a bit. Let a
knobber bother me. Pain level high, makes me sensitive to whats going
on around me sometimes, have to step off when it's bad. How are you this
morning hun?

Shen was right sweet....love that pic. Looks so nice, sunny and
comfortable...can hardly wait until it warms right up like that over
here!

Morning prussia. Yep, we had some tech problems this morning. But all
is good now! Hope you're having a great morning!

lol, cheeky girl shenadra! Am bouncing from coffee house to coffee
house this morning...will be bouncing off the walls shortly

tiger tiger!!!!
Morning sweet and shenadra (again, lol)

((((((sweet)))))) Good morning hun!

Thank you two...just working out the kinks this morning, lol. Am afriad
I don't do Monday's very well.

Good morning everyone! Grey left for work....was sitting in the dark
over there, lol. I smelled fresh coffee!

Grey! I tried to email you and it said I don't fit your criteria

Hush girl....don't say that, lol. I think if the site went down, Mike
and Van would get it back up as fast as possible. Stuff happens, but I
know they would be on it like all get out. Not a bad idea to share
emails though.

Very true shenadra...

Sorry if I sounded cranky. Having lost my way, finding my way again,
plus a number of other obstacles in my life, it sure isn't comforting to
know another could think less of me should I not be able to sit in a
church to show/prove I have the faith.

Peace

Thanks shen.....bring on the sun! Not sure if it's my puter or the
site, but I got hung up and couldn't get back to the site. That was
weird, lol. AM back...I think

Ohhhh grey, that has me thinking of summer, when the hot or warm winds
blow....can hardly wait for those days. Where there is no "wind chill",
lol.

Morning, and thank you shenadra. Yes, grey was sweet enough to put the
coffee on this morning. Love my job, just hard to keep up some days.
Just so glad the horrible winter is gone, lol. The sun and warm days
feel so nice.
