A young girl (third grader) had been murdered in our small town a few weeks before, which really rocked the community and put it on alert. I was walking home from school for lunch one day and I noticed a man in a car following me. When I got to a corner about four blocks from where I lived, I noticed he was going to circle around the block again and come down the alley. I knew who lived in the closest house, so I walked up to the door and knocked and told them what was going on. They knew my parents well and drove me home, and I gave the police a description of the car the man was driving. That young girl's life and death have haunted me to this day, and back then it was the first time I was conscious of how fragile (and dangerous) life can be, even what back then was supposed to be a safe environment. I am so grateful that women are speaking out in our culture now. Shining light on the darkness takes courage; I pray for those who need the courage to speak out...onward, Christian soldiers!Cathy Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09032374496238223012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8691319772208152166.post-87806499143871156582017-12-16T14:22:37.182-06:002017-12-16T14:22:37.182-06:00It sounds like you have a wise and kind husband to...It sounds like you have a wise and kind husband to help you make difficult decisions.

I know I sometimes find it difficult to awaken from my stupor to differentiate true danger from all the strange things people do and say. But we have to stay awake, and we have to speak up when we see something.<br />Thank you for doing that.Katrina Blanchallehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03300264690284771712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8691319772208152166.post-88584299997459126292017-12-16T12:41:09.435-06:002017-12-16T12:41:09.435-06:00I agree with your stand.

In the beginning of my sons sophomore year of high school he came to me with a drug and alcohol issues a coach was promoting or at least ignoring. My son said , 'You said I was to report it and I am. Now what are you going to do about it?" It floored me because my words were staring me in the face. I did report it and we went to police and took a lot of sh*t from the whole school and community. I stood side by side with my child and would do it again. IAlong with all the horrible things that ensued after it taught him I was always there. I was proud of him and still am.<br />Stand your ground. It's hard but is important.Lisa Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15648485087571625919noreply@blogger.com
