In America our public schools are intended to be religiously neutral.

You can keep on driving it but eventually you will ruin the engine.

Hope is a decision we make, a choice to believe that God can take the adversity, the disappointment, the heartache, and the pain of our journeys and use these to accomplish his purposes.
