On 11th November, which was on a Sunday, more than 50 Students of Statehouse Girls approached the Altar and imitating the wedding ceremony, vowed to remain pure in heart, mind, soul and action. According to the beatitude, blessed are the pure in heart, they shall see God, the students wanted an experience of God and preserve their bodily purity until marriage. It is so encouraging to see so many of our friends coming forward and vowing chastity in a world that views virginity as lack of opportunity and or even a disease. Surprisingly, I have not heard of anybody who has died of virginity but those who have lost it in a fleeting moment of pleasure die by the day. These young ladies have a different story and wants to be different. They know that the formula for success in not easy to know but that for failure lies in simply following the crowd. They know that it is easy to go with the flow but they know that the flow always goes downhill and becomes stagnant and dead. They have decided to walk the highway. The way of the few that brings satisfaction and personal success. They have refused the myth that a young person cannot resist sexual desires or that everyone is having sex. 'Who is everyone? I am not everyone!' they say. They want to beat their own paths and they know that they are not alone. Kudos Grace-full ladies! Let them laugh now but remember, he or she that laughs last, laughs best!! I am sure you will get Gentlemen who will Love you and Cherish you!
