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.

Very good...I’ll bet he enjoyed eating that trout.

The Broncos definitely cheated in that game yesterday. The poor guy made a field goal and both teams played the play as if it were good. Calling a time out at that moment in that fashion should be against the rules. I think so.

It was scandalous.

LoL, my Patriots are going to be taking it on the chin from 30 other cities over the next few months as they all try to “get us”, but on the field, they (we) will make it happen.

Go Patsies.

We have been waiting for a long time for this sort of pride to be justified.

Ping to the above post!

I didn’t see the game, but I’ll watch for the highlights that are sure to play tonight.

Playing in other cities is going to be interesting for the Pats the rest of the year, that is for sure.

Good luck.

Good morning, Radix (((HUGS)))

Good luck to your Patriots.

My husband wants the same for the Lions. He’s just love to see them get a good team together. He and young son will be going to the Skins-Lions game in October. Maybe I’ll pray that the Lions win that one.

Yeah, yeah, I know the Skins’ fans will jump all over me, but what the hey, huh?
