News, Notes, etc

As I sit at the computer this beautiful Saturday morning, I think about all that the Lord does to sustain each of us. The glorious sunny sky and the crisp fall temps are the things we see, and perhaps take for granted. But the Lord has provided so many blessings, that counting them would be impossible.

A short list however:

1. Miss Opperman got to New London safely.
2. My neighbor used his spare time to blow the leaves from my lawn to the curb.
3. The 4th and 5th graders have been very healthy this year.
4. On the whole, the class has been faithful in completing their assignments on time.
5. Four of the 5th graders are taking on the challenge of the annual 5th & 6th grade FVL Math Bowl.

Items to note:

1. Miss Opperman has started "taking" some of the subjects. She started with devotions, handwriting, spelling, and math. This week (all two days of it) she adds Christ Light for the 4th graders.
2. Parent teacher conferences are this Monday-Wednesday. If you've not signed up for a time, you can still call or email me. We can find a spot for you.
3. Thursday and Friday there is no school for Emanuel, as the teachers will be in Milwaukee for the annual WELS State Teachers' Convention. My favorite part is the opening service. Having about 1000 teachers singing is so cool. Sometime I just stop singing and listen. It brings me to tears. Tears of joy that I can sing with these people now and in eternity, praising God for all Jesus has done for us. 
4. And, yes, we're continuing with Speed Stacks…and getting faster each day!

God bless…

Isaiah 46:4

Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.
