I said a prayer in school yesterday. Yes, you read that right. I said a prayer, a Christian prayer, out loud at a public school. Ellie's teacher, Mrs. Her, asked if I would be willing to say the prayer at the kindergarten Thanksgiving feast. I was amazed that we were allowed to do that, but I readily agreed, of course. How could I pass that up? Afterward one of the moms told me what a nice prayer it was and how as the teacher was talking about the pilgrims and indians and how they gathered for a meal together she was thinking, "And they prayed!" And then Mrs. Her said we were going to have a prayer before the meal! I don't know how they were able to do that, but I was just happy to be a part of it. Mrs. Her told me that was the nicest prayer in many years. That made me feel good :) And it made me feel good to be at a school that will take a stand like that and not let fear of being politically correct govern every action and activity. Yea John Wash Elementary!!!
