I wanted to go into law. My father was a lawyer. You may not remember this. Youre not old enough. But there was a time when you sort of tended to do what your parents said. Completely fine to the entire audience. Such an idea that he was a lawyer. As far as becoming a judge is concerned for any lawyer, a federal judge like me has to strike. It really does. And to be on the Supreme Court, you have to strike twice in the same place. So you and i worked on capitol hill at the same time, i worked briefly for the senator in the judiciary subcommittee on amendments and you worked for senator kennedy.

How did that come about to be a judge . I wanted to go into law. My father was a lawyer. You may not remember that you
Report card prayer initiative. We are asking parents to make copies of their report cards and turn them in the offering goes around. We believe those are offerings. We want the congregation to pray over them and children see this intersection of faith and study. We will have educational liaisons that help churches and parents improve the educational success of their students. They can be contacted. It is a strategic move on our part. Those are a couple of new initiatives. The faith and education education website is new. We are emphasizing that we are not pushing Public Education away any longer. This is the first time in th history of evangelicalism that we are not embracing secularism if it exists, 95 of our students are educated in public schools. This is our system. We want to embrace Public Education and let them know that we are here to support you. How can we help . Can pastors offer their churches for afterschool programs . Thank you for the question. Thank you. I am caitlin fr
