Prayers that Youth Can Make the Difference


I keep remembering the Jimmy Stewart movie "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington".  His foe was not unlike what the NRA is today - controlling the senators and representatives to do their bidding.  As a freshman senator, Mr. Smith came with hope and interest in seeing democracy at work but came up against the foe which was controlling the senior senator from his state and many others in Congress.  When Mr. Smith was almost shut up and put down it was the youth, the children that got the word out to what was happening.

Today we have our youth and children doing the same thing.  Let their voices be heard.

I stand with them!  I have hope!
