If you share your faith your fired, By Eddie Windsor

In the early 1970's my father (Edward M. Windsor) drove school bus for our local public school district. During his employee orientation he was told that school employee's were not permitted to share their religious beliefs. But if you knew my father you would realize that would be impossible for him. His passion was introducing people to his Lord. So he decided to get up at 4:30AM each morning and drive the bus route backwards praying for about two hours for each and every child and their families by name. He did this day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year.


A couple of weeks ago (more than 30 years later) I attended my father's funeral service. It was no surprise that aproximitly15 people were in attendance that had been on my father's school bus route. As I talked to each of these families it was easy to see the impact my father had on their lives. We estimated that 60% of the families who rode his school bus are now serving God and attribute their faith in Jesus to my father. Several kids from my fathers bus route have now become pastors.


The Teacher Applicant...

After being interviewed by the school administration, the teaching prospect said, "Let me see if I've got this right!

You want me to go into that room with all those kids, correct their disruptive behavior, observe them for signs of abuse, monitor their dress habits, censor their T-shirt messages, and instill in them a love for learning.

You want me to check their backpacks for weapons, wage war on drugs and sexually transmitted diseases, and raise their sense of self esteem and personal pride!

You want me to teach them patriotism and good citizenship, sportsmanship and fair play, and how to register to vote, balance a checkbook, and apply for a job.

You want me to check their heads for lice, recognize signs of antisocial behavior, and make sure that they all pass the state exams.

You also want me to provide them with an equal education regardless of their handicaps, and communicate regularly with their parents in English and Spanish by letter, telephone, newsletter, and report card.

You want me to do all this with a piece of chalk, a blackboard, a bulletin board, a few books, a big smile, and a starting salary that qualifies me for food stamps!?

You want me to do all this and then you tell me........ I CAN'T PRAY?

The next time you find yourself in a place where you are told you can't pray. Remember my father!

I am my fathers son,
