Faith Traps (Matt 6:1)

CurtisBakerBy: Curtis Baker

Coming into Matthew chapter six, we have reached a transition point in our study of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount.  So far in this sermon, Jesus has made two very distinct and important points.  First, in Matthew 5:1-16, he explained to his disciples who is truly blessed in this life.  Far from being the common understanding, Jesus included in his list of blessed people those who mourn, are meek, and who are persecuted because of their faith in him.  Jesus’ point in this is not to say that the only blessed life is a sad and difficult life, but to say that sad and difficult lives are blessed too, in so far as they are lived in relationship to Jesus and his kingdom.  As a matter of fact, anyone who takes up their life into God’s life is blessed, no matter what the outward circumstances of their life may be.  It is these people that Jesus proclaims as the “salt of the earth” and a “light to the world.”

Sr CitizensBy Janet James

Food for thought – The shortest distance between two people is a smile.

We filled up 5 tables with pictures of everyone’s children.  That was our way of celebrating Mother’s Day. Way to go!  I hope it was a happy Mother’s Day for all.

Coach Terry moving to Plains

from Chad Terry’s FB

I have accepted the head football/boys AD job at plains, We are excited to start our empty nest years in a great, supportive school district. The old saying in coaching is “leave it better than you found it” I can say our staff did that – hard work, instilling character, integrity , effort & honesty into young men who had not been very successful – now those same young men walk a little taller, not afraid to hurt while working & understand that the TEAM is bigger than the individual. Those same young men taught me many things as well, and brought the love of coaching kids back into my soul! I will look back at the 13′-14′ school year as one of my all time favorites – we did what everyone said couldn’t be done!
