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.

Good Lord’s Day, E...((HUGS))...are you expecting any fall out from Gustav? Hope you had a nice Saturday, and Chuck is doing well.

Just a few replies this morning. I won’t be on the board much until after the hurricane alert is over. Take care and I’ll see you whenever.

Both OU and OSU won their games yesterday.
OU 57 Chatt. 2
OSU 39 Washington State 13.
Chuck's doing OK. His left foot hurts from time to time but he's doing OK. His next consultation with the doctor is this Tuesday.
We did have some thunder and lightning last night. Some parts of our town were without power but thankfully the power stayed on through the storms.
As to Gustav we don't know what's going to happen with it as far as our weather but i do know this. Our thoughts and prayers are with those in it's path. Everybody stay safe out there on the Gulf Coast and heed those evacuation orders if you haven't already.
