I have called

our state and county officicals, the Governor's Office, GA Board of Regents,

and President Bush's office.All agree that the prayers need to be reinstated.

However, they have to know that we, the people, need and want them returned.

I know that we are dealing with a major disaster and our government officials

are busy, but thissimply magnifies the urgency to return the prayers to

our children, who are as lost and stressed as the adults. Yes, they can

have "silent prayer," but they need to know that it is all right

to have these feelings of hurt, hate, stress, unknown and in prayer with

their siblings find a peace. Those who do not wish to pray (a minority)can

simply sit there and respect those that do.Basic prayers/ and the Ten

Commandments will never hurt anyone.

We will fly

our flags and say our prayers to carry us through this terrible attack

on mankind and America.
