Winners & Losers

We all know what Jesus would do....the question is, what would you do? I recently read the following fictitious story and thought it would make for good "blogging" material. Students and parents are encouraged to participate.....who knows there might be something in it for the best response....HA! How's that for bribery? Anyhoo......blog away!!!!!!

Here goes...

Bobby knew the reason that no one ever talked to him - he was a loser. He had never been exceptional in sports, his weight had always been a problem and his acne made him look like he had a case of the chicken pox. Jimmy, one of the most popular guys at school, would talk to Bobby at church on Sunday, but then Monday morning, it was as if Bobby did not exist. When Bobby and Jimmy passed in the halls, Bobby was ignored - especially when Jimmy was with his friends. Jimmy says it is tough being friends with Bobby at school because a person can't be a winner if he talks to losers. Jimmy thinks popularity is important and won't risk being friends with Bobby and that he will lose his popularity if he talks to Bobby.

...ok....so you know what Jesus would do and maybe you know what you SHOULD do. But the question is "what WOULD you do?" I anxiously await your blogging insights!

Daybreak

Hey this is Mr. D. In January Highland started something new in the morning and called it Daybreak. We decided that everyone 13 and up should have a place to go and hold devotionals, listen to music, have discussions play games, and just talk for the half hour from 8 to 8:30. So with Bro. Steve's blessing, I began opening our church's sanctuary, or chapel as it is for the school, at 8 am and playing some Christian music and holding a short devotional.

I am pleased to announce that Daybreak has been pretty great over the past few months. We average around 20 students and have had some great discussion and fun games. We have a skit planned for Spring Fling on April 29th and lots of fun stuff in between, so stay tuned. I hope to have some video up on God Tube soon, so stay tuned.

In Christ,

Mr. D
