Please pray....
« on: December 22, 2009, 01:55:19 PM »
My friends on Goattalk....
I've just returned from the store to get the ingredients needed to do my baking today.
While I was there, I learned that a tragedy has happened here in our little town.

A neighbor's son, 17 years old, has died.

Cannot say for certain that it was suicide, but looks like it could be.
Either that, or it is the result of the "choking game" that many teens are doing today to get high.

As you might imagine, there is much speculation on how and what happened, but my heart is broken for his family.  I simply cannot get my mind around this. Unbelievable.  Unthinkable.  Stupid.  Tragic.  Senseless. 

Please join me in prayer for Greg's family. 

Thank you.

The Good Lord gave you two ends.....one for sitting and one for thinking.  Heads you win, tails you lose.

They are in my prayers, and I too can not get my mind wrapped around anything so stupid-no matter what was the self induced cause.

'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American. There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag. We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language. And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.' - Theodore Roosevelt 1907
