See you at the pole

I heard a report on the news today about a local county that just approved additional spending to accomodate our growing prison population.

I'm not a politician, so I have an easier way to go about this: start investing in a child. Be there for them. Let them know you care. Then we'll wonder later on what to do with all the extra jail space.

A bunch of us invested in our local kids today when we met around the flagpole of a local school. We prayed for the students, their relationships with parents, their friends going through tough times, and every teacher by name.

It's hard to criticize and find fault with others when we're in their corner.
