Jerry Miller was exonerated yesterday in Chicago after serving 24 years in prison. He becomes the 200th person to be exonerated by DNA evidence. To recognize this landmark, the Innocence Project launched a month-long national campaign to prevent this injustice from happening to more people.

On Palm Sunday, hundreds responded to Robert “Evel” Knievel’s testimony by asking to be baptized on the spot at Crystal Cathedral. Speaking alongside the Rev. Robert H. Schuller, Knievel told the congregation in Orange County, California, how he had refused for 68 years to accept Jesus Christ as Lord. He believed in God, but he couldn’t walk away from the gold and the gambling and the booze and the women.
“I don’t know why I fought it so hard,” he said. “I just did.”
But Knievel knew people were praying for him, including his daughter’s church, his ex-wife’s church, and the hundreds of people who wrote letters urging him to believe. And then something indescribable happened during Daytona Bike Week this March.
“I don’t know what in the world happened. I don’t know if it was the power of the prayer or God himself, but it just reached out, either while I was driving or walking down the sidewalk or sleeping, and it just—the power of God in Jesus just grabbed me. … All of a sudden, I just believed in Jesus Christ. I did, I believed in him! … I rose up in bed and, I was by myself, and I said, ‘Devil, Devil, you bastard you, get away from me. I cast you out of my life.’ … I just got on my knees and prayed that God would put his arms around me and never, ever, ever let me go.”

Friends, The state of Discipline of Children in the Western World is in CRISIS! We all see it every time we go to a restaurant, ride a plane, or go into a convenience store: Young people totally out of Control! And who’s to Blame? Certainly not the immature Youth, unready for unbridled freedom with no experience to guide him.
No, the Blame lies squarely with today’s Mothers and Fathers who abdicate their Duty to Police the behaviour of their very own children!

Georgia School Holds First Integrated Prom. White And Black Students Held Separate Proms Until This Year
For the first time, the faces of students at the Turner County High School prom were both white and black.
Each year, in spite of integration, the school’s white students had raised money for their own unofficial prom and black students did the same to throw their own separate party, an annual ritual that divided the southern Georgia peanut-farming county anew each spring.
That all changed Saturday as horse-drawn carriages and stretch limousines carried young couples around the downtown streets to a single prom.
“I couldn’t be more proud of these young people,” said Ray Jordan, the county’s school superintendent. “The changes needed to come from the student body.”
At the start of the school year, Turner County’s four senior class officers had told principal Chad Stone they wanted an official prom and they wanted everyone invited.
