 do you believe in God? page 6 by ric gustafson

Earlier in her school life, Cassie began withdrawing from us emotionally. She wanted nothing to do with us. It got to a point where we tried to get her involved with youth group activities. That also did not work.

In late 1996, Brad and I began finding graphic letters written by Cassie. In them, Cassie talked about killing us and herself. Brad and I decided to transfer Cassie to a private Christian school.

Of course, Cassie was mad at us because we found those graphic letters. She was also mad at me for contacting the sheriff. Cassie was also mad because she could not speak to her friends.

Cassie's friend Annette told me that conversations about violence and death was common conversation now. Brad and I did not know if these graphic letters were idle threats or real?.

When Cassie started at Christian Fellowship School, we were hoping that environment would help her. At first, Cassie blamed us again for ruining her life. Brad and I prayed daily for a miracle in Cassie's life.

Then one day, it did.
