question(s) for the masses

Have any of y'all heard of Rachel's Challenge? Has anyone been to one of the assembly/meetings?

Matthew came home from school all !!!!! about it -- they had an assembly today at school for this, and they're having it again at 7p and he wants me to go, and quite frankly I don't want to. I can't help but think if it's this big, huge thing they want optimal attendance for, then they could've sent something out oh, even yesterday, to let us know.

I've never heard of it, but if it's important to Matthew, then maybe it's worth at least checking out?

Hmmm... if Matthew is interested in Columbine, you guys could pick up Columbine by Dave Cullen, maybe give it a read together. It's a mindblowing book that completely changed the way I viewed Columbine, and it's extremely well researched and balanced - most definitely worth it, and it would tie together with the assembly, give Matthew all the facts, maybe?

Hers was one of the Columbine deaths that was inaccurately made into a highly publicized Christian-martyrdom story; the challenge seems pretty legit (and nonreligious), though.

If it has Matthew that excited, meh, maybe give it a shot?
