Back to School!
By Naval Support Activity Chapel Staff
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

We’ve had thunderstorms all day long...I’m glad the Valley is getting some rain, too. Y’all sure do need it.
Also hoping it’s breaking the heat...

WOOOOOHOOOOO!!! We are UNDEFEATED!
We Texans fans have NEVER been able to say that in the second week of the season. :-D
I miss my Section 530 at Reliant Stadium. But I've kept my season tickets and my seat will be waiting for me when I get home.

Yes, it was a good day. I gave the trout to Jeremy for his mother to cook for him. At this time of the year the Dept. of Fish/Game recommends catch and keep only as the trout will not survive being played and then released. The alkalinity of the water is too high right now.
