We ought always to thank God for you, brothers, and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love every one of you has for each other is increasing.

Indiana Mom Asks Stores Not to Sell 'Bully' Game
VALPARAISO, Ind. (AP) The coordinator of a Valparaiso school anti-bullying initiative is asking local stores not to stock a new video game called "Bully."
The game allows players to assume the role of a student who lashes back at those who have picked on him.
Brigid McLinn says the game is inappropriate after a machete attack upon Valparaiso High School students by a classmate two years ago in the northwestern Indiana city.
She has contacted district administrators about involving parent/teacher groups in letter-writing campaigns to local big-box retailers.
The game released this week is rated "T" for teenagers age 13 and older.
Target Corporation says it will continue to carry the came. A spokesman for the company that developed the game declined comment.
