In one of my classes we are reading a book of poems that a fictional character named Lonnie wrote. He's given me a chance to get to know the students through their responses to the literature, and this one girl critiqued a poem called "God Poem."
She wrote:
"I am not too excited about the 'God Poem.' I do not believe in God. God is never going to show himself because he is not real. I know a lot of people who believe in God and we are still friends but God is not for me."
Breaks my heart. I am committed to praying for her, along with my other students.
