Wednesday, Sept. 23

6:32 a.m. - I find myself searching for answers to better encourage more students to take full authentic advantage of the educational opportunities they have available to them.  My guess is that I would be encouraged by the number of students that do fall into this category, but I see more indications and instances of students that do not fall into this category, so discouragement prevails.

Prayer for My Heart

Holy Spirit...

Help me have...

    a heart of faith, that I may abide in the spirit. 

                                                                     Amen
