Tuesday, September 2, a day that will live in infamy. OK, maybe that is a little over dramatic for the first day of school. But when you are married to a school teacher, the difference between the last day of summer break and the first day of school is the difference between the alarm clock going off at 4:45 and not going off at all. This morning, Lynn turned off the alarm clock and gave a little sigh... or was it a groan. At least I didn't have to pull her out of bed kicking and screaming like I used to do with the girls. She did point out yesterday that there are only 180 school days left before summer break next year!
This is the day that the Lord has made... even when it is the first day of school. May God bless this year of possibilities and opportunities for all our students and teachers. I know that sanctioned prayer is no longer allowed in public school; I also know that many of our teachers and students would not want to face school without it.

Loving God, sometimes a new school year seems exciting or scary or both. Sometimes school is great, and sometimes it is hard. But we know that whether we are excited or scared, you are with us. We know that whether school is great or hard, you are with us. We thank you for always being with us. Help us to remember to show our thanks for your gift of learning by
doing our best every day.
