It seems that state funding for breakfast for needy Colorado school kids was going to run $125,000 short under the budget of the new Republican governor. A local Colorado Springs newspaper columnist challenged the many Christian non-profits headquartered in the area and local churches to step up and put their money where their mouths are regarding "widows and orphans." To their credit, they did. Of course, a grateful state government said a big "Thank You!" Well, maybe not so much. Instead it said the matter had to be studied, the numbers crunched, Legislative authorizations made, harumph, harumph! The Christian groups are holding to their course and are confident they will overcome the obstacles to helping the kids get breakfast. C'mon Colorado, I thought this was about the kids?
