It was so refreshing to read the article about the new NHS principal Mr. Ron Payne. To him, I say God bless you. He sure has the welfare of the students and faculty in mind.

I trust the parents will support him in the good he wants for them. Now if he could just get prayer back in schools, wouldn’t that be great? When prayer was taken out, a lot of bad things happened. When God is left out, the devil has more power to cause bad things to happen. You didn’t hear of all the ugly things that are going on now, back when God was recognized in schools. We need that now. If there was no God we wouldn’t even be here. I do pray for the young people. They will be our leaders some day.
