Jay Inslee said he is even more focused on increasing opportunities for working Ameri- cans. Inslee said in a conference call from Washington, D.C., that he and the president agree: Edu- cation is one of the best ways to accomplish that. Raising the minimum wage and building a clean energy economy were two other focuses at a White House meeting with a group of Democratic governors, the governor said. The governor said he hasn't given up on the Legislature putting more money into education this year, even though there are only three weeks left in the session. He criticized some lawmakers in the Senate for wanting to do nothing on the education budget this year, calling that just kicking the can down the road until next year. "We're hoping some of our Republican colleagues have an epiphany," Inslee said.

She married an Israelite and was privileged to become the great-grandma of King David. Speaking of David, imagine his picture over there on the right. He was a shepherd boy who killed a lion and a bear when they came after his sheep; he fearlessly faced Goliath and killed him with a stone hurled from his slingshot. He became a mighty warrior and was eventually set in as King over Is- rael. David had it all — honor, wealth, fame and family. But he had a bit of a problem with power and lust. He slept with the wife of one of his officers and after finding out she was pregnant, sent her husband to the front lines of battle so he would be killed.
