Love By Whose Definition Cassie

Love by Whose Definition Cassie

First Cassie had lost the homeland that she loved. Then her father. And her brothers. And her mother. Now her only childs life was being threatened and his father, her husband was just standing by waiting. What was a mother to do? One thing she wasnt going to do was stand around and wait. She knew he was alive, but there was no guarantee of how long hed stay that way. She turned to the one other person who loved her son almost as much as she did- the man who had taught her the skills to deal with the kidnappers as soon as they found them and they did. Kelly McGavin came to Farm Acres as a lowly worker, but gave her son a father figure much the opposite of his real father. More important he showed her how to tap her inner strength. He taught her mediation and how to defend herself. Through Kelly Cassie learned that she had rights and talents. None Farmer, as her husband, may have demanded strict obedience from her, he did not own her mind and spirit. Once she found she had the power to take care of herself, never again was the man she married going to control her. Evil belonged in its place and some day she would put him in that place before he had the chance to taint their son.

Chain Reaction

Rachel Scott and her killer Eric Harris both talked about starting a "chain reaction." Eric used violence to kill and destroy at Columbine High School. But Rachel chose another path. In a personal creed she wrote one month before her death in the Columbine tragedy, she explained her conviction that if one person goes out of his or her way to show compassion, it will start a world-changing chain reaction of kindness. For Rachel, this was a solemn calling. And now her father, Darrell Scott, is carrying on her crusade by challenging people of all ages to commit themselves to creating a revolution of compassion that can make a real difference in our troubled world. Chain Reaction spells out this challenge in compelling detail, providing moving examples of practical compassion and giving illustrations from Rachel's life and journals.
