Stop, Kneel, & Pray by Nicole Smith
Stop, Drop, & Roll is a simple fire safety technique taught to children,
emergency services personnel and industrial workers as a component of
health and safety training.
Primarily, it is a method to extinguish a fire on a person's clothes or hair
without, or in addition to, the use of conventional firefighting equipment.
In addition to extinguishing the fire, stop, drop and roll is an effective
psychological tool, providing those in a fire situation, particularly children,
with a routine that can be used to focus on in order to avoid panic.
How is it that we can embed a simple term into billions of people and
whenever our life is on fire we forget to Stop, Kneel, & Pray?
Yet for your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.
Psalm 44:22
Stop, Kneel, & Pray consists of three components:
1. Stop - The sheep must cease movement to take a stand against the enemy attacks.
2. Kneel - The sheep must 'drop' to the ground, kneeling while head is bowed and eyes
closed to avoid distractions.
3. Pray - The sheep must pray to the King of Kings and believe the prayer has been
answered.
The effectiveness of stop, kneel & pray may be further enhanced by combining it with other
firefighting techniques, including the use of the Holy Bible, faith, and praise.
There is a Way
Lyrics to There is a Way by NewWorldSon
You say love is just a word,
just four letters in a row.
Just a thing that people say,
or they never tell you so.
And you use every excuse, to let nobody in.
Now this cloud you bring around, has become your only friend.
And everybody saying that it's going to go away,
But it dont go.
And everybody's telling you one day it's going to change,
But you don't know.
If it's really going to end.
But there is a way,
There is a spark,
There is a hope that you can hold on to.
There is a life line come to the rescue,
Just like a hand that's waiting for you.

And if you beleive in this I promise that you won't be alone.
There is a way, the truth, and the life, and the way.
What if love became a man, If the word had flesh and bone.
Would you recognize his face, If he came to bring you home?
You think you're all alone, Gotta do it on your own riding solo.
Is there someone you can call when you stumble and fall? Cause you don't know, If you'll be
getting up again.
But there is a way,
There is a spark,
There is a hope that you can hold on to.
There is a life line come to the rescue,
Just like a hand that's waiting for you.
And if you beleive in this I promise that you won't be alone.
There is a way, the truth, and the life, and the way.
Don't you think your life's worth saving? Don't you know that love's amazing?
Don't you want to lay your troubles down?
Lay them down.
If I thought love was just a word,
I might feel the same way too.
But there's so much more than that,
And it's waiting here for you.

Email of the Year
Nominee for Email of the Year - Author Unknown
After being interviewed by the school administration, the
prospective teacher said:
Let me see if I've got this right.
You want me to go into that room with all those kids, correct
their disruptive behavior, observe them for signs of abuse,
monitor their dress habits, censor their T-shirt messages, and instill in them a love for learning.
You want me to check their backpacks for weapons, wage war on drugs and sexually
transmitted diseases, and raise their sense of self esteem and personal pride... You want me
to teach them patriotism and good citizenship, sportsmanship and fair play, and how to register
to vote, balance a checkbook, and apply for a job.
You want me to check their heads for lice, recognize signs of antisocial behavior, and make
sure that they all pass the final exams. You also want me to provide them with an equal
education regardless of their handicaps, and communicate regularly with their parents in
English, Spanish or any other language, by letter, telephone, newsletter, and report card. You
want me to do all this with a piece of chalk, a blackboard, a bulletin board, a few books, a big
smile, and a starting salary that qualifies me for food stamps.
You want me to do all this and then you tell me .... I CAN'T PRAY?
What's Your Story?
Writers have an opportunity to preserve their thoughts, experiences,
creativity, and most importantly faith in print, as well as other forms of
media. We all have a story to tell for others to receive
encouragement, inspiration, education, entertainment, and more.
Writing is a way the the author and the readers connect with each
other over a message. If a book's message is strong enough and is
shared by many, it can create change.
