"School days, school days, dear ole golden rule days." This old song was despised by many school children of yesteryear for it reminded them that they were about to rejoin the thousands of kids for classes. In our permissive society rules, values, expectations, and morals are sorely lacking. The present economic crisis was started by the lack of morality and the prevalence of greed in the business world. As a result, character education is a major focus in schools: traits like honesty, trustworthiness, integrity, kindness, respect. It's even more shocking that these traits are lacking in the church! Church splits and coups are testimony to the need for Christians to follow Jesus in lifestyle as well as speech. Let all who claim to be believers live by the character qualities of Galatians 5:22-23 and 1 Corinthians 13. Which character quality do you need to work on?
Steven and Samuel began school for the first time today. Steven is in kindergarten while Samuel is in preschool class. They like their teacher and look forward to the bus ride. Amy (this year a Senior) has resumed her classes, taking courses at Liberty University.
Roger is also back to school with three classes this fall. He really did not have a break this summer. He took two intensive classes: one in June and one in July. In August he self-designed a course in economics and took a CLEP exam that earned him three credits, completing his teacher competencies.
Actually The Nauss' did enjoy a break as he and Holly celebrated their 25th anniversary! They stayed local as Amy watched the kids. See their 25th anniversary picture!
We'll soon upload some school photos soon.
