Jesus the Lightning Rod
Why is that a school that touts tolerance and "why can't we just all get along" is so intolerant of Christianity and Jesus? They will go out of their way to cancel a popular non-compulsory program that teaches abstinence till marriage, even after the "Christian" component has been removed, but will force all students to be part of a "gender awareness" program (GAP) that was contested by many parents and students. Today at Waterford, everyone who wanted to be part of GAP wore a sign that read "I am silent today in solidarity with all those who have to remain silent because thier sex, gender identity, or sexual orientation. Why is it we are more comfortable seeing two men holding guns than holding hands? Let's break the silence." Gabby chose to wear a sign that simply read "Jesus Loves You So Much!" She was attacked by students and teachers alike as being 'so' intolerant. How is it on one hand someone can push for tolerance of anything and everything, but mention the J word to them and immediately you become the target for everything intolerant? We are so proud of Gabby. But we also worry about her. It would be so much easier now to have stayed in the safe walls Hosanna offered, or the wonderful and safe confines of Healing Place. Please keep her, Nathanael, and Danielle in your prayers. Waterford needs a strong witness.

we are very proud of your kids right along with you--and we pray daily for them.
interesting that it's acceptable to use Jesus' name in vain, but not to declare him Lord...
Jesus name brings light and exposes sin. That's why it's so shunned by people walking in sin. No one wants to see their own dirt. I am so proud of Gabby for her stand for Christ. I am praying for all of you!
Sorry for my bad english. We were been in Swaziland the last summer to help the Shewula community but i don't understand why you want to import a religion in Africa that don't have nothing of historical base there. We have to help the people without teach "our religion" but following their traditional costumes. Bye bye.
Well l&f the reason is that the historical base and traditional customs of Africa will do nothing for them after they leave Africa and enter eternal life as opposed to "our religion" which will give the eternal life with the very One who created them and Africa.
I pray ya'll ever day and I'm so proud that Gabby stood up for Christ!
I tell you one thing, there are two ways: 1) God doesn't exist. 2) God exist but he's not good.
Wake up, study, learn and you will appreciate life without any God. Bye.
