Quote from the article: "After 44 years of doing this work, nothing shocks me anymore," said Union Parish Sheriff Bob Buckley. "But this comes pretty close."

I know this in no way rises to level of activity in New Orleans, buy my 11-year-old came home last week telling us that some kids in his grade have been making out at recess out of sight of the teacher.

When my wife raised this with other mothers this week (they were preparing memory books for the class), one of the mothers shrugged it off as out of the jurisdiction of the school since "they are going to do that kind of stuff anyway." No big deal to her.

We probably would have said something to the school, but I think they are getting tired of hearing from us. The latest thing we complained about was a direct link that the 5th-graders were able to follow during computer class research on AIDS to graphic descriptions of oral and anal sex. The computer class instructor responded, asking, "What am I supposed to do? Monitor the sites they visit?"

Sometimes I feel as if we are fighting a losing battle.

To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
