Some Students Are Already Back To School

How is it possible that we are entering into another school year already?  It seems like the last one just ended.  As a child I can remember our school year always began on the day after Labor Day, but now some schools are already back in session in the second week of August.  Other schools have gone to a year-round system.  One thing is clear.  I need to grasp a few more days of summer fun before entering fully into the new academic year.

God has blessed us abundantly with the gift of nature.  Have you been refreshed and renewed this summer by absorbing some of God’s beautiful gifts?  Take some time.  Smell the roses or the scent of the pine trees.  Listen to the water in the stream.  Let God speak to you in the quiet of the great outdoors.
