A big thumbs-up to Brookfield Now and Jessica Rasmussen for her article in this week's NOW on the musical group, Sacrifice of Praise. The three area women mentioned in the article are using their gifts of music and song to minister inside of and beyond their community. Through their examples of personal courage they offer hope, faith, and a tremendously positive example.
And another big thumbs-up for Jessica's article about the seminar conducted at St. John Vianney on the dangers of the Internet. The article serves as a sober reminder to all of us, but especially to parents on the dark side of this technology. And kudos to the parents interviewed for their courage in taking steps they deemed appropriate to safeguard their kids.
These are the kind of articles we need more of. Please take a few minutes and read them if you have not already done so.
BUT..........................
A big thumbs-down for the article that did NOT appear.
Once again the superb performance of the Brookfield East Forensics Team went unnoticed. The Spartans recently defended their 2007 State Championship, and while they did not bring home the Trophy this year, they finished third in this State-wide competition.
It is time and past time for a feature article on this team, and its long-standing record of consistently outstanding performance. And a color photo would be nice as well.
In the interests of disclosure, I have no formal association with, nor am I related to anyone involved with the Spartan Forensics Team.
