Love all the Dum Dums



Christian Life School is back on campus! Today was the first day of school. I had the privilege of teaching the first chapel of the year. We said our pledges to the Christian Flag, American Flag and the Bible. I sat at the piano and we sang some songs to Jesus! Then I talked about how we need to love all the dum dums!

Man looks on outward appearances, God looks at the inside! (1Samuel 16:7) When we look at people we need to remember that we can only see what's on the outside, but God can see what's on the inside - and it's what's inside that counts!

John 13 says this is how men know that we are Christians...IF WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER! I gave out dum dum suckers at the close of chapel encouraging students to not be PICKY but love all the dum dums... Kids tend to "leave out" certain sucker flavors...we committed to not leave one another out...or make fun because of differences...

Proverbs 15:1...A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger... We talked about facing the "bullies" in our lives... And, I made it clear that Pastor Paul and Principal Mary will tolerate no bullying... And ofcourse we closed in prayer asking JESUS for the strength to always LOVE... It was a really good chapel!!!
