This is from my good friend Lynne, who is a teacher at a High School in Denver, CO.
=====
Hi you guys. I know that you are all keeping up with the news at Virginia Tech. I am writing to you to ask you to PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE pray for the school where I teach....Cherry Creek High School. We are located about
20 minutes away from Columbine High School...and tomorrow is the 8th anniversary of the Columbine shootings (as well as Hitler's birthday).
There have been significant threats here over the last few days, with graffiti saying that "Columbine will happen again here at Creek on 4-20." I am scared. There are police on campus, and the administration is "ramping up" adult presence on campus by having about 20 retired teachers and
security officers come to school tomorrow. They have had us reviewing the lock-down procedure with the kids, and I am just overwhelmed. Your prayers would be more than appreciated (and needed!). Many students have not been coming to school....today or tomorrow. The kids that ARE here are very nervous and anxious. I am just at a loss. I have been praying all day, but I could use all the help that I can get...and apparently, so could this nation. I love you guys....
Lynne

Just got a response from my friend. The school made it through the threats safely. Thanks for your prayers! Here's her response: ======= Hey you guys! I just wanted to say thank you for the prayers a week ago when I was nervous about the safety of our school. It's amazing what a peace God brings when you rely on Him! That day at school was the most peaceful, quiet day...and I had a great time in class with my students that actually showed up! It was a blessing in disguise because I got to be more personal with the kids rather than teach a lesson. There have been a few minor threats since then, but nothing that anyone is lending any credit to. Again, I just wanted to thank you all and give you an update. Love you guys! --Lynne : )
