Nov. 19, 2006 - Perhaps an upside.
Couple of things to update on...
It just so happened that our SS glass talked today about how knowledge in the world is so far removed from God's wisdom. A mom who used to be in our hs group, but now teaches in the public school system, and has her kids in school, remarked how true this was in the public schools. That even though there was knowledge being taught, it was certainly not the knowledge of Christ, as seen in Col. 3. And that her dd was having to be exposed to h*m*s**uality already b/c a girl in her class was "outing" herself. When class was over, I approached her to see if it was this same girl who was slandering my dd, and she said it was. We wept for the lost innocense of our girls, and then decided we together would approach the principle of the school about the idea that this child was bullying with such accusations. We'll see where that goes. She seems to think the principal would be supportive.
And this morning, dd asked me if she could get a purity ring. I asked her why, and she told me that all this talk about her needing to protect her heart, mind and body, made her think that she needed to make a commitment to Christ to help her do so. 
I wanted to make sure she understood, and we're going to talk about it. But I think this whole situation has made her realize that she can't just say she wants to be pure in thought, word and deed...she has to pursue that purity.
More to come...I'm sure! And thanks for those praying for us!
