    4 Pointers for Graduates to Head in the Right Direction 

    An blue icon with a graduation cap and tassel.

    Here’s the basic points with a scripture that I’m using for tomorrow’s “graduation night” at Keltonburg for our High School students. This’ll work whether they’re heading to college or the job market:

    • It’s time to grow up (1 Corinthians 13:11)
    • Prepare for hard times (Ecclesiastes 12:1)
    • When you think you have the world conquered its conquered you (Ecclesiastes 1:9)
    • Don’t compromise your faith for a “good grade” or a “good job” (Proverbs 3:5-6)

    “Whatever comes to your hand to do with all your power, do it because there is no work, or thought, or knowledge, or wisdom in the place of the dead to which you are going.” (Ecclesiastes 9:10 - BBE)

    What Type Of Things Written 

    Like Ron, I still use the “pen to paper” motto as well. I use a 3×5 sheet of folded paper to write my grocery lists on; write my list of songs that I lead on the Lord’s Day; write the library class schedule down when I substitute in the public school libraries; jot down ideas and thoughts for future blog articles.

    Incivility Overpowers Our Society 

    Ramnath Subramanian, a sixth-grade science teacher at Eastwood Knolls School in El Paso, writes for the El Paso Times on educational topics.

    In his Thursday article, http://www.elpasotimes.com/opinion/ci_16515180, he points out the following:

    “I applaud any effort by school officials to promote decorum and civility in the school milieu. However, I am acutely aware of the fact that family, community, and the popular culture play a larger and more defining role in children’s lives than schools.”

    Yes, education begins in the home (Ephesians 6:4; cf. Genesis 18:16-19).

    Organizing Myself 

    How do I organize myself? Usually through the use of lists written on a 3×5 sheet of lined paper that I carry with me. Grocery lists and lists of the daily classes coming into a school library, are usually pretty detailed lists. Plus, if I get an idea for a blog article, I can quickly write it down before I forget it! :)

    Back to school thoughts brought me to last night’s FB game. It was a great game. Our local HS team has won only one game in three years (we lost last night). Last year had the team compete in most of their games – that was good considering from where they came the year before that. The game last night was a victory for the visiting team on the last play of the game. A hook and latter pass to the end zone won the game. Unfortunately, the Back Judge called a poor game (it was really BAD). Two plays previous he was the only one who thought an interception was an incomplete pass. Just the same, a good game with both teams having heart as they fought to the end.

    Back to school means that FB is here. Since our girls are out of school, I can think on the more pleasurable things locally. I am sure there is nothing all that important in education compared to football – is there? :-)

      It took me a minute to realize that by FB you meant football. I thought it stood for Facebook.

        I am sorry, Randal. I use these abrievations so often that what readily comes to my mind does not easily communicate to others. Richard’s post on what is it that we are talking about is a good reminder to me that I need to be more thoughtful about others who read.

    My Distance To Work? 

    When I was working full time for the El Paso School District, the drive to work was 17 miles one way. Since I’m now working as a substitute librarian, my driving distance can be any number of miles, depending on where the school is – usually not more than 20 miles one way.

    Use my imagination? I think I left that ability behind after being employed by our local school district! :) If the Lord wills, I’m going to be preaching Sunday, using Bro. Rubel Shelly’s good thoughts in this article: http://mbriley.preachersfiles.com/2009/12/13/seven-red-flag-signals-of-possible-apostasy/

    Drawing Christ on a Cross – Demented? 

    An eight year-old child has been suspended from school and urged to get a psychological evaluation [before he can return to school] because he drew Christ on a Cross. He was asked to draw something that came to mind when he thought about Christmas. Read  more of this astounding article.

    These kinds of overreactions can drive people to the Cross. We must keep preaching and teaching of the loving Savior who died for all (Romans 5).

    This is a result of living in an increasingly secular society that is hostile to Christianity. One that has too many lawyers and lawsuits. Zero tolerance crates a situation where all reason and logic is discarded and everyone is guilty.

      First reaction is, what can one expect of Massachussetts, but these kinds of horror stories are occurring everywhere, and will probably increase because of the growing secularism that brings on such hostility. As you say, the only remedy is the preaching of the gospel.

      It seems that paranoid behavior exists in folks who have far too much secular education, but not much spiritual education (cf. Romans 1:21-22).

        The reference to a secular society is chilling to me for two reasons. One, it sounds a lot like the comments made by jihadists in defending their murderous actions. Two, it suggests that people do have the right to choose that path. Perhaps, if persons such as youself did a better of teching the gospel, the secularism you so decry would not be so widespread. If our society is becoming too secularized, t is YOUR fulat because YOU have done such lousy job of spreading the gospel. What would have done with all these secularists? Would you have them rounded and imprisoned or executed. I truly believe that you and people like you are coming very close to that belief.

        • Richard Mansel 12:08 am on January 10, 2010 Permalink

          Joe, you appear to be eaten up with anger at someone and it is affecting your worldview. I am sorry that you have become bitter. We need to pray for you.

      I write on this board as one who spent four yours as a bible major at Freed-Hardeman whose study of the bible at that esteemed institution revealed it to be nothing more than a fabrication of man and is used as a crutch by weak minded persons who cannot think for themselves.
