Wanda Clark is an excellent principal, end of story. Regardless her certificate was mailed from the state the first day of school, so you cant say she didnt have it in time. Education has become a beurocracy where all that matters is making whats on paper look good and not education at the root which is building relationships and turning out good citizens economically and socially. Wanda got the shaft but none the less Gods will be done. Unfortunately not only did Wanda get the shaft but also the students staff and community of williamson.
The rediculous thing is kindergarten class sizes are around 30 kids per class. That is rediculous. With all the money from the tax levies you think they could afford hiring a few more teachers.
I thought it seemed that some of your articles came off that way in regards to the prosperity blessing. Blessings come with anguish and suffering. Why would God want to bless someone with all kinds of money when He tells us its harder for a rich man to enter heaven than for a camel to fit through the eye of the needle?
You answered my question and reaffirmed the point I was making:
"Blessings aren't money and power. Blessings are anything that brings you closer to Christ!"
Thanks and God bless
The problem is that most "Protestant" churches dont see it or teach it that way.
I think that it is wrong to say that if you fully give yourself to God he will bless you. That is not always the case. It might not always be Gods Will. People then expect to always be blessed if they follow God.
You said:
"God did big things through those who trusted him"
Look at John The Baptist! Look at the apostles and early Church fathers! They all trusted God yet they were all tortured/beheaded/crucified.
I think that modern day churches have drifted from the Truth of what it means to follow Christ. Joel Osteen and other famous pastors of these mega churches teach that if you follow God he will always bless you abundantly. A lot of people are led into church on that basis.
You are right that we must love God with all our heart, but we must be willing to die for him, and say "God, not my will, but yours will be done, no matter what it brings me" I think that we need to look back at how christianity was in the beginning. Not what Christianity has become today.
The next question becomes...What does it mean to have faith in Jesus? The scriptures tell us that not everyone who calls Lord Lord will be saved. Faith is also doing what Jesus instructs us to do. Faith without works is dead. The Catholic Church which was the original Church that Christ founded himself and which was the Church that canonized all the scriptures into the Bible has the sacraments which are the foundation of faith. God bless everyone
Lets be honest though, education has turned into a direct bureaucracy. A bunch of beaurocrats sitting in Columbus with nothing better to do than ruin the education system. What was wrong with old school education? They preach differentiated instruction yet everyone takes the same test!!

I think you have it backwards!
You said:
"How big does the storm in your life have to get for you to take your eyes off of Christ and put them on your circumstance?"
Most of the time its the storm that causes them to put their eyes on Christ. Its when things are going good that their eyes are not on Christ.
You also said:
"The truth is that God will not promote you to a higher calling without first equipping you to succeed."
My questions to you would be what do you mean by equipped to a higher calling? and How does one become equipped by God?

Putting faith in Jesus will give you strength to overcome evil

Youngstown schools gets $8M in stimulus money to improve academics
Inner-city moral decay...
How many of these Youngstown City Schools kids actually sit down and say a prayer with their mom and dad for a normal dinner at night?
How many of these parents are single parents? (90%?) Most have kids from more than one father.
Where are their values? no self control with sex, drugs, and alcohol.
You can be poor and still have values.
The statistics PROVE that family values go hand in hand with higher achievement.
