voices of the victims are heard,
as they are integral to the
distribution process. Experts
with experience in mass crime
victim compensation and the
needs of crime victims will also
be asked to serve in a volunteer
capacity. The fund and
committee are designed to be
completely transparent, and the
committee will inform the
public of its deliberations in the
distribution of funds.
While Santa Fe is still learning
how to address the mass
shooting and trauma that has
followed, the National
Compassion Fund has a lot of
experience handling tragic
events and distributing funding
to families that are impacted.
The fund was founded in
collaboration with parents and
family members from some of

accomplish what it was sent to
do." No flat bread here:)
And I want to add this also,
my mom baked out of love for JT
our family, it was part of her
ministry. I didn't do anything to
earn that slice of bread. I just
responded to that sweet aroma
and sought it out. So likewise,
we don't have to beg God or
"knead" His heart into
submission. His heart is perfect.
"Perfect love."
It's our hearts of unbelief that
need to be worked on.
Back in Momma's kitchen I
watched and listened to her
softly humming a song as she
lovingly stretched and folded
the dough several times until it
formed a perfect round shape.
"Faith without works is dead."
Not that we have to earn
anything from God. As born
again believers, we inherited a
new life in Christ. We just need
to appropriate His faith in us.
Read His word, let love "knead"
our hearts and yield faith. It's no
longer a mystery to me.
It's Jesus. God has come in the
flesh. Let faith arise.

and Newtown. Unlike other
charitable funds, 100 percent of
donations are distributed directly
to the established victim base of
these terrible atrocities. The
National Compassion Fund has
the experience to help victims
navigate this process and to treat
victims with the respect and
dignity they deserve. NCF also
preserves the intent of donors
who want to know that their gift
is going directly to those harmed
and will not be used for other
purposes.

Santa Fe ISD announced this
week it would be partnering
with the National Compassion
Fund and GoFundMe to
distribute 100 percent of the
money raised in recent
fundraisers to the families of
those killed and injured in the
May 18 shooting at Santa Fe
High School.
The announcement came days
after a rash of complaints on
Facebook stating the money
raised would be kept by the
school and not given to the
families.
But the district, through the
Santa Fe Texas Education
Foundation, said it has been
working to find the right way to
distribute the money to the
families that are still recovering.
That venue turned out to be the
National Compassion Fund, a
leading authority on how victims
are compensated for loss.
The National Compassion
Fund will advise the committee;
assist with ongoing fundraising
efforts; administer victim
application and vetting
processes; and coordinate the
distribution of proceeds from
the Santa Fe Texas Education
Foundation’s official campaign,
other fundraisers, and third-
party donation sources.
GoFundMe will advise the Santa
Fe Texas Education Foundation
and support both ongoing
fundraising and distribution of
proceeds to victims and their
families. The district said 100
percent of the donations will be
distributed directly to the
victims and their families.
The Santa Fe Texas Education
Foundation, a 501(c)(3)
nonprofit, will serve as the
central repository for the Santa
Fe Strong Fund, and a local
steering committee will be
responsible for setting the fund’s
distribution policy.
The Santa Fe Texas Education
Foundation has formed the
steering committee that includes

and appropriate it into my daily

There is a balance between
grace and faith. Grace is what
God has already provided for us,
and faith is our positive response.
Now, this is going to be a crude
example but without going into
greater explanation I'll try ...
grace and faith ... each separate
from the other will not produce
physical results. Or manifest
God's power working in our
lives.
Like the flour without the
yeast would not cause an effect.
But combine the two along with

"Faith IS the substance of
things hoped for and the
evidence of things unseen."
We read the word ... "the
words that I speak to you they
are spirit and they are life" ... it
causes "hope" ... a positive
imagination is the right
environment for faith to rise ...
then the combination of faith,
grace and the Holy Spirit sets
things into motion in the spiritual
world. We may not always see
immediate results but if we don't
begin to doubt (take the cloth off
the bread) then "God's word will
not come back void but will

My mother was a great cook.
She especially loved to bake
bread and pies.
Ooooh, I remember getting
off of the school bus on "bread
day" where the aroma of fresh
baked goodies bid me welcome
home.
Mom would have a warm
slice of bread with a thin layer
of butter waiting for me.
(Served with an ice-cold glass
of fresh milk, courtesy of
"Buttermilk" our resident milk
cow. Awww! Life on the farm:)
YUM.
Well, my mother taught me
how to make homemade bread
and I recall being fascinated
about a strange substance called
yeast.
Apparently, nothing happened
without it. She set aside a bowl
of very warm water mixed with
the yeast and prepared the other
ingredients. She had explained
that without the yeast the bread
would not rise. I recall watching
the mysterious bowl waiting for
something to happen. Nothing.
But after she combined the
yeast with the flour mixture, she
kneaded the dough and covered
it with a cloth. Every now and
then I would walk past the bread
loafs and witness that the dough
was indeed expanding and

Like I said, I was fascinated.
My mom wasn't surprised.
She totally expected it.
But to a young child I thought,
"what was this strange thing that
caused such mysterious results?"
My brain could not wrap itself
around this.
It wasn't until I was older that
I was able to develop more of an
understanding about living,
microscopic organisms that
could kill, heal or... cause dough
to rise.
There was something alive in
that yeast.
Now fast forward to when I
began reading the word of God
and the Holy Spirit was giving
me knowledge with
understanding about the
"mysteries" of God as I sought
Him through the Bible.
That is when I began to
