Will the Real Christians Stand Up

               “I’ve been saying the same thing to myself,” Drill  Ser-

         geant Jackson said. “I’ll remember, eventually,” said Drill Ser-
         geant Miller.

         Back at the Barracks



               “That was a good punch,” one of the soldiers in training

         said to Samaria when they got back to the barracks.
               “Did you see his face?” Another soldier in training asked.
         “It was like he was sucking on something,” another said. Every-
         one laughed.
               “How did you learn to punch like that?” another asked.

         “My dad placed  me in mixed martial arts at a very young
         age,” Samaria said.
               “On another note, I’ve been trying to figure out in my
         mind where I’ve seen your face, and it dawned on me who
         you were when you said your name to Drill Sergeant Miller.
         You and two other young ladies led the march in Florida for

         prayer to stay in our schools.”
               “That’s it, that’s where I know your face from,” another
         soldier in training said.
               “That  came to  my mind but seeing you with no  hair

         made it hard for me to say,” another said.
               “My mom and dad would not believe this,” another said.
         “When they approved prayer to stay in the schools in Florida,
         a group of us ladies marched in Georgia for prayer to be kept
         in schools there.
               “Wonderful,”  Samaria  said. “I  found  out  earlier  that

         marches are getting ready to take place in California, Wash-
         ington, Indiana, Chicago, and New York.” The soldiers in train-
         ing cheered.
