One of Example’s goals is to encourage young men and women to make safe, healthy, and God-pleasing choices. Each year during Prom week, Example asks someone to address the student body so students may be encouraged to make alcohol and drug-free decisions. This year Ken Daniels delivered an outstanding presentation concerning the dangers of drug use and they need to get this epidemic out in the open so everyone can deal with the horrific consequences.
-Video of this presentation will be made available at a later date.
We will continue to pray for Mr. Daniels’ family and for all families dealing with this deadly epidemic.
"Jamie was lovely, loyal and he was so caring - always on the lookout for his best friend, his sister, during his time at Michigan State.
Jamie was about a whole lot more than his addiction. He wanted a better life, but addiction got a hold of him and it just wouldn’t let go.
Prescription drugs last year took more lives in Florida, where Jamie wound up passing, than cocaine and heroin combined. Four out of five heroin users started on prescription pain killers.
We need to talk about it. For the longest time we were ashamed of it…We can’t be scared to talk about addiction, both for the person suffering and for those affected by that person. To suffer in silence just worsens the epidemic. So let’s talk. We all have to join the conversation. That’s caring. That’s friendship. That’s loyalty. And that was my son.
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.” II Corinthians 1:3-4
