Video Class

by

One of the new classes I picked up this year is a videography class. In this class I have 8 seniors and half of them already knew what they’re doing with a camera before the class even started. So one of the things they’ve been working on are commercials for the Senior Store. Here are the one’s we’ve completed so far. We also did a week long series for Spiritual Emphasis Week that we will be posting later on this week. All future videos will be posting all of our videos on this Youtube group.

Enjoy!

Staff-Student Soccer Game

staff_student_soccerLast week we also enjoyed a Staff vs. Student soccer game. For those of you who know me, you know that soccer isn’t my best sport, though I did impress myself with a couple of good touches. Though I think those were mostly by accident.

I did have a shot on goal, though…Ok, well it would have been if the goal was about 2 times…make that 3 times as large as it normally is.

In any case, it was a lot of fun even though us teachers ended up on the losing end of this game. Of course, we’re all Americans. We’re not supposed to be good at soccer.

Sew Speaker 1I think the hardest part of getting back into blogging for me is deciding where to start. I’ve missed so much that I’ve been meaning to write about that I get overwhelmed thinking about how I can possibly catch up with everything. So in the end I justSew Speaker 2 decide that I need to let those things go and start where I am now.

Sew Speaker 3Last week was Spiritual Emphasis Week at VCS, which means we have special guest speakers come and have chapel everyday. Pictured are the three speakers who came over to speak to our kids with the theme, Direction Determines Destination. They did a great job of challenging our kids to strengthen their relationship in Christ, which real practical ideas. Also they presented the gospel in a manner that challenged our non-Christian students to think more deeply about accepting Christ into their lives. Just today I heard from a fellow teacher of a student who accepted Christ as a result of last week’s messages.

Please continue to pray that God will continue to challenge the way our students think about Jesus. Whether they are believers or not I desire them to see Christ in a new light, and one that draws them closer to Him.

Quote of the Day

This morning as the students were coming in, one of them greeted me with these words:

“Somebody could’ve been killed! I went to a Chinese store and they offered me a broadsword.”

Yikes!

He Got It!

Today we talked about the word hero. I read the story Teammates which is about the friendship of Jackie Robinson and Pee Wee Reese. If you don’t know the story, it’s about the season that Jackie Robinson first began playing for the Dodgers and the violent reactions from players and fans. More than that, though, it’s about the determination and character of Jackie Robinson, Pee Wee Reese, and Branch Rickey. We got to the part of the story where the fans are taunting Jackie Robinson then Pee Wee Reese walks to him and puts his arms around him and says, “This man is my teammate.” (Which makes me cry everytime!) I asked the students what they thought happened in the crowd, and Miguel had this answer:

Maybe before that they were blinded by the power of evil but Jesus was able to show them that they were wrong and wipe the blindness from their eyes. Then they would know that it doesn’t matter what color your skin is.

Wow! I think he got it!
