Hi everyone,

This was news to me.  Maybe it is to you, too.  Karen
Subject:    Fw: Columbine School

Guess our national leaders didn't expect this, hmm?  On Thursday, Darrell
Scott, the father of Rachel  Scott, a victim of the Columbine High School
shootings in Littleton,  Colorado, was invited to address the House
Judiciary Committee's  sub-committee. What he said to our national leaders
during this special session of Congress was painfully truthful.  They were
not prepared for what he was to  say, nor was it received well. It needs to
be heard by every parent, every teacher, every politician, every
sociologist, every psychologist, and every so-called expert! These
courageous words spoken by Darrell Scott are powerful,  penetrating, and
deeply personal.
There is no doubt that God sent this man as a voice  crying in the
wilderness. The following is a  portion of the transcript:

"Since the dawn of creation there has been both good & evil in the hearts of
men and women. We all contain the seeds of kindness or the seeds of
violence. The death of my wonderful daughter, Rachel Joy Scott, and the
deaths of that heroic teacher, and the other eleven children who died must
not  be in vain. Their blood cries out for answers."
"The first recorded act  of violence was when Cain slew his brother Abel out
in the field. The villain  was not the club he used.  Neither was it the
NCA, the National Club Association.  The true killer was Cain, and the
reason for the murder could only be found in  Cain's heart."
"In the days that followed the Columbine tragedy, I was  amazed at how
quickly fingers began to be pointed at groups such as the NRA. I am not a
member of the NRA. I am not a hunter. I do not even own a gun. I am not here
to represent or defend the NRA - because I don't believe that they are
responsible for my daughter's death.  Therefore I do not believe that they
need  to be defended. If I believed they had anything to do with Rachel's
murder I  would be their strongest opponent."
"I am here today to declare that  Columbine was not just a tragedy-it was a
spiritual event that should be forcing  us to look at where the real blame
lies! Much of the blame lies here in this  room. Much of the blame lies
behind the pointing fingers of the accusers  themselves."
"I wrote a poem just four nights ago that expresses my feelings  best. This
was written way before I knew I would be speaking here today:"

Your laws ignore our deepest  needs,
Your words are empty air.
You've stripped away our heritage,
You've outlawed simple prayer.
Now gunshots fill our classrooms,
And  precious children die.
You seek for answers everywhere,
And ask the  question "Why?"
You regulate restrictive laws,
Through legislative  creed.
And yet you fail to understand,
That God is what we need!

"Men and women are three-part beings. We all consist of  body, soul, and
spirit. When we refuse to acknowledge a third part of our make-up, we create
a void that allows evil, prejudice, and hatred to rush in and reek havoc.
Spiritual presences were present within our educational systems for most of
our nation's history.  Many of our major colleges began as theological
seminaries. This is a historical fact. What has happened to us as a nation?
We have refused to honor God, and in so doing, we open the doors to hatred
and  violence. And when something as terrible as Columbine's tragedy occurs
* politicians immediately look for a scapegoat such as the NRA.  They
immediately  seek to pass more restrictive laws that contribute to erode
away our personal  and private liberties. We do not need more restrictive
laws."

"Eric and  Dylan would not have been stopped by metal detectors.  No amount
of gun laws can  stop someone who spends months planning this type of
massacre. The real villain  lies within our own hearts. Political posturing
and restrictive legislation are  not the answers. The young people of our
nation hold the key. There is a  spiritual awakening taking place that will
not be squelched! We do not need more  religion. We do not need more gaudy
television evangelists spewing out verbal  religious garbage. We do not need
more million dollar church buildings built  while people with basic needs
are being ignored. We do need a change of heart  and a humble acknowledgment
that this nation was founded on the principle of  simple trust in God!"
"As my son Craig lay under that table in the  school library and saw his two
friends murdered before his very eyes-He did not  hesitate to pray in
school. I defy any law or politician to deny him that right!  I challenge
every young person in America, and around the world, to realize that on
April 20, 1999, at Columbine High School prayer was brought back to our
schools. Do not let the many prayers offered by those students be in vain.
Dare to move into the new millennium with a sacred disregard for legislation
that violates your God-given right to communicate with Him. To those of you
who would point your finger at the NRA - I give to you a sincere challenge.
Dare to examine your own heart before casting the first stone! My daughter's
death will not be in vain! The young people of this country will not allow
that to happen!"

Do what the media did  not - - let the nation hear this man's speech.
Please send this out to  everyone you can!!!
