Today I attended the funeral of Jasmine Bloodworth, the young woman who recently suffered an untimely death in our city. Galilee Missionary Baptist Church was packed and it was an intense service. I left with conviction that our community will work harder than ever to stop the violence. It was too soon an ending to a young life.So it seems a bit serendipitous that this same day saw the grand opening of the new Program and Training Center for the Girl Scouts of Glowing Embers Council. Girl Scouting is one of the many activities that young women of all backgrounds can participate in to put their lives on a better track. This fantastic gift to the community, located in the city, will postively affect the lives of many young women well into the future.
