Prayers going up
Mark messed up. He arrived an hour late at a restaurant where he was to meet a friend from church. The friend had already left. Feeling sorry about his mistake, Mark purchased a gift certificate from the restaurant and stopped at a local card shop to search for an apology card. Among hundreds of cards, he was surprised to find only a few sorry for my actions cards in an obscure part of the store. He purchased one and gave it to his friend who accepted his apology.
Although apology cards may not be popular, apologies are frequently needed in our relationships. Apologizing is a biblical action. Jesus instructed His followers to make things right with those weve offended (Matt. 5:23-24; 18:15-20). And the apostle Paul said, If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all (Rom. 12:18). Living at peace may require apologies.
Apologies can be hard to make because it takes a spirit of humility to admit our mistake, which may not come naturally for us. But taking responsibility for how we were wrong in a situation can bring healing and restoration to a relationship.
Have you messed up? Swallow your pride and make the first moveeven if you cant find a card to help you say it.
Read: Matthew 5:21-26
Third marking period has begun, but the students think it's summer -- particularly the freshmen who have the most on the line right now. sigh.

A pinch of this...a dash of that...
In 435 B.C., the Greek philosopher Anaxagoras
suggested that the sun was not just a small glowing circle of light.
He maintained that it was a glowing rock
a hundred miles across.
For that outrageous statement, he was exiled from Athens.
The favorite horses of both Alexander the Great (Bucephalos)
and Julius Caesar both had atavistic mutations
extra toes.
Horses normally have only one toe per foot,
but are descended from horses with three or four toes on each limb.
The islands of Bermuda have no rivers or lakes.
The inhabitants must use rain for water.
A donkey is an "ass", but an ass is not always a donkey.
The word "ass" refers to several hoofed mammals of the genus Equus, including the Onager
I've got to make my rounds.
But, you stay right where you are.
Keep the troops entertained and the Canteen clean...
Cause...if you don't...I'll tell Ma!
Come in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS
PLEASE REMEMBER THEM ....
