In Memory…

Everyone longs to leave a legacy. Have you noticed that? We all are striving to ensure that once we are no longer here, someone will remember us. We will have had an effect on someone else that causes them to remember us long after we are no longer here. It’s interesting. This characteristic of human nature is as old as well, human beings are. The pharaohs of ancient Egypt inscribed their images onto walls and other things so that once they were gone, they would be remembered. People had portraits painted, statues erected, later photographs were taken, diaries and journals are read, scrapbooks are made, family trees are traced, and so many other means of remembering are taken up by people of all generations. We are creatures of memory. And so, on this holiday that celebrates remembering… let us take some time to remember those who fought and died for our freedom. 620,000 Americans died in the Civil war alone. Keep in mind that after the Civil War, we participated in so many other wars, and countless more lost their lives in the fight for freedom. (more…)

As I spent my first week as a graduate, working hard to prepare for summer activities, it did not sink in until today (Saturday 5/24) that…I…was…done. No more school, as least at this level and at my current career plan. One cannot help but reflect on the years it took to get through and the effort that at times seemed so overwhelming. After this self reflection, I came to one conclusion. I’m not ready to be done! (more…)

Congratulations seniors!! Today is your day- you made it! I’m sure by now you’ve all received Dr. Seuss’s “Oh the Places You’ll Go,” eaten lots of cake, shared pictures, reminisced on the beginnings of high school, said good-bye to the halls of your high school, and are dreaming about the future. You deserve it! Today, we want to honor your hard work and effort. We want you to know that you will always have a church home here. I was thinking back to my high school graduation and I remembered how I thought the summer wouldn’t go fast enough. (more…)

Education is so very valuable. Whether it is received through the rigors of daily life and hard work or through the student/teacher classroom experience, it is what shapes us as people looking to reach God’s purpose in life. You have heard it a thousand times, yet even at 1001, it is still true: One never stops learning. Education begins at day 1 and continues until our last breath. If not, we run the risk of becoming stuck in our day to day routine. How boring that would be. (more…)

Scientists make paper planes for space

A spacecraft made of folded paper zooming through the skies may sound far-fetched, but Japanese scientists plan to launch paper planes from the International Space Station to see if they make it back to Earth. (more…)

Acts 1:6-14

“So when they had come together, they asked him, ‘Lord, is this the time when you will restore the kingdom to Israel?’ He replied, ‘It is not for you to know the times or periods that the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.’ When he had said this, as they were watching, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their site. While he was going and they were gazing up towards heaven, suddenly two men in white robes stood by them. They said, ‘Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up towards heaven? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.’”

“Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a sabbath day’s journey away. When they had entered the city, they went to the room upstairs where they were staying, Peter, and John, and James, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James. All these were constantly devoting themselves to prayer, together with certain women, including Mary the mother of Jesus, as well as his brothers.”
