Brennan has a special education teacher, at school, who has been causing him grief over carrying his Bible to class (Brennan is respectful, kind, thoughtful, considerate and in no way a disruptive teen). This has been going on for over a year.  This teacher wrote him up for having his Bible in her class ,last year, and gave him detention.  Of course, we immediately went to the administration where they, overstepping her classroom authority, revoked his detention.  This week he, once again, was called-out and sent into the hall for having his Bible on his desk, where she proceeded to tell him that he was NOT allowed to bring it there again.  Brennan doesn't propagate it, nor does he use it as a defense; he simply carries it to each class, just as the students who carry a Koran or students who carry "Llterature" books.  For some reason this teacher has some deep issues with the Bible and God.   We spoke to this teacher on Tuesday after the "incident" and its basically a case of, "he said, she said."

So. . . .now what?  We're still encouraging Brennan to carry his Bible, he still has the right too; and we are praying for his teacher.  Last night, after I prayed with Colson, he said, "mom we forgot to pray for Brennan's teacher and that she will find God."  So he and I, once again, approached the Throne of Grace and asked God to work in the heart of Brennan's teacher.

I'll pray for the teacher too. And that Brennan will continue to confidently and courageously carry The Word.
