Success in school is rarely an accident: students who excel tend to exhibit similar traits. As you consider your son or daughter’s progress in school, ask yourself, which habits does your child already practice? Which areas are in need of improvement?

“The Standards insist that instruction in reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language be a shared responsibility within the school.” The implication of this statement means that today, more than ever, the responsibility of teaching literacy skills rests not only with ELA teachers but also with other subject area educators. Science and Social Studies, which require nonfiction reading, are subject areas in which nonfiction literacy and writing skills can be taught. The National…

One of the most overlooked learning resources is the local library. For decades, the library has provided patrons with the ability to access hundreds of documents and texts they would not be able to be able to use otherwise. But the library no longer relies solely on text sources. As part of the technology migration of the 21^st century, the local library joins a variety of others in enhancing learning through library learning programs. These resources offer patrons access to…

O Lord, my everlasting God,

Your splendor warps my thinking;

this Cosmic playground of Yours,

encourages me to keep expanding



in my search of finding You near,

in the nuances of my existence;

I’m surrounded by circles of Life,

which are endless in persistence

I’m dumbfounded with awed amazement,

that You conceived a dynamic world

and its subsequent sunset, know…

that you’ve been summoned by God.

Evident from the Universe’s glow,

His Presence, perfect in beauty,

final judgments will be executed;

His decisions won’t remain latent.

Unto Himself and…

the need for a relationship with Christ.

Under His leadership, we’ll overcome all

that the enemy employs in a vain attempt

to kill us before Judgment’s roll call.

Within the evangelical lens of Christianity,

we teach the principles of responsibility,

while fulfilling…

Shadows of shame, exist in darkness,

but are not concealed from my God.

Ungodly behaviors can never be hidden,

from Him, Who is omnipotent, omniscient

and omnipresent; Truth can’t be overridden.

Shadows of shame, are easily dispersed

by Jehovah’s piercing Light of Truth;

when looking to Him for assistance,

one’s face will become radiant with joy

from acting with loyalty and persistence.

Shadows of shame, contradict God’s desire …

What are the Laws of Grace? Here I have identified the Laws of Grace as 3 essential principles that define Grace as I have come to know it.

The First Law – Grace expresses divinity and is all-pervasive.
