Back to school

A child came home from his first day of school. His mother asked, “What did you learn today?” He said, “Not enough. I have to go back tomorrow.”

Going back to school is always difficult for both teachers and students. It also means more traffic with school buses back on the road, probably the only ones delighted about schools reopening
are the parents.

Going back to school can be a milestone. Kindergarten, sixth grade, high school and college are all significant marks of progress and change (especially when the kid finally gets a job!). For parents, these can be good times to reflect -- and perhaps to set new goals.

It is good to reflect on memories of your kids growing up, and how proud you are of who they are becoming. It is also important to understand what they will need next as they grow and develop.

An important goal is not only to ensure that they learn reading, writing and arithmetic, but also that they learn about God as well. The Bible tells us to train and teach our children in the ways of God (Proverbs 22:6 and Ephesians 6:4). One great way to do this is to take them to church.

Chaplain Rob Beede,
NSA Mid-South Command Chaplain

"..maybe one gets the impression we're in need of some guidance around here."

I do, that's for sure.

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

Did you know Amazing Grace is a sea faring song?

I just learned that a few weeks ago at the Blessing of the Fleet in Port Orford.

GOD BLESS AMERICA AND OUR GREAT MILITARY

All-powerful and ever-living God,
when Abraham left his native land and
departed from his people you kept him
safe through all his journeys.

Protect our soldiers. Be their constant
companion and their strength in battle,
their refuge in every adversity.

Guide them, O Lord, that they may return
home in safety.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

NOW is your chance to support President Bush -- in Utah, Idaho and SAN DIEGO!

"...In this war, our nation depends on the courage of those who wear the uniform. During the coming weeks, I will meet with some of the brave men and women who have been on the front lines in the war on terror.

Next week in Idaho, I will visit with some of the fine citizen soldiers of the Idaho National Guard. I will also see the men and women of the Mountain Home Air Force Base who played a leading role in the air campaign in Afghanistan after the September the 11th attacks. I will thank all of them for their service in the war on terror and I will thank the families who make their essential work possible.

Our troops know that they're fighting in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere to protect their fellow Americans from a savage enemy. They know that if we do not confront these evil men abroad, we will have to face them one day in our own cities and streets, and they know that the safety and security of every American is at stake in this war, and they know we will prevail.

Next week, in Utah, I will also address the Veterans of Foreign Wars Convention and thank the proud veterans who have given today's troops such a noble example of devotion and courage.

At the end of the month, I will join our veterans and current service members in San Diego to commemorate the 60th anniversary of V-J Day, the day that ended World War II, the bloodiest conflict in human history..." - President George W. Bush
