WABASHA, Minn. - An unmarried fifth-grade teacher at a Catholic school in Wabasha is out of a job because she got pregnant.
Twenty-three year-old Emily Prigge of Lake City told her principal about her pregnancy last month. Prigge says the principal and a priest asked her to resign last week, and she did. Her pregnancy is about 15 weeks along.
Prigge was in her first year on the job at St. Felix school. When she took the job she signed a Catholic Christian Witness Statement, where she agreed to be a good example as a Christian in her personal and academic life. Prigge, who is Catholic, says she was told she didn’t live up to the statement because she had premarital sex.
Officials at the school and the Diocese of Winona have declined to comment.
If I didn’t have an intimate relationship with the Truth [Christ Jesus] Id be very tempted to switch religion’s (if it was just a man made religion.) Ironically it seems to have become just that.
I get so embarrassed when I see these ‘turn or burn’ people on street corners & always at the most random times, which is kind of weird. I want to minister some ‘laying on of hands’ to them. If we could only stop them.
Growing up I wanted nothing to do with Christianity after seeing these people, and when I did give my life to Christ I was afraid of becoming like them or Flanders (Simpson’s)
I had an awakening that I was living on second hand faith when received my biggest insult from a non-believing friend who said to me “..I cant be myself in front of you, because I feel so condemned, so judged.” Burn. (Rest assured I have grown out of that, and still growing)
i leave you all with this :
Accept Christ or burn forever!
Just joking. :)

This is great. I’ve thought many of these same things, but never knew how to textualize those thoughts. We do serve a God of great love.
