“We are hopelessly corrupted by sin. All who do not have Christ as Lord and Savior are in bondage to evil, condemned by a just God, and bound for hell… See John 3:18.”

Thanks to the generosity of our @KellerISD community, we collected hundreds of items for Watauga Animal Control & the Community Enrichment Center. In addition, our hard-working crew picked up trash & beautified our campus!
Thanks for making #KISDBigEvent2024 a success today!
Shopping this weekend? Add some "extra" pet supplies to the list!
NEXT Saturday, April 6, drive through and drop them off at PHIS from 9-11 a.m. We want to unleash some love and generosity on our furry friends (and their helpers) at Watauga Animal Control!

I saw a few videos on TikTok where a few teachers mocked certain "bad Christmas presents" like dollar store trinkets, cheap mugs, or hard candy.
And I watched with a mix of sadness and anger as they carelessly unboxed their stashes of gifts.
When a child thinks of you enough to bring you a gift -- no matter how inexpensive or common it may seem -- the gesture itself is a gift. That child is saying, "You matter in my life and I want to give you something."
When a teacher mocks this gesture, they're not mocking a gift. They're mocking the gesture and the heart of their students. Fortunately, most teachers aren't like this. Most of them cherish all gifts they receive.
When I left the middle school classroom after 12 years and moved into higher education, I finally got rid of my massive collection of dollar store trinkets and cheap mugs. I knew my students. I knew that these items weren't cheap given their parents salaries. I knew how big of a gesture it was that a supposedly jaded 8th grader would hand me a mug of generic hard candy and a thank you note.
And although I eventually cleared out my classroom and threw away a few dollar store mugs, I kept all of those notes in a box as a reminder that I had made a difference even when I couldn't see it.

Parents,
When you meet your child’s teacher in the coming weeks, be sure to hug and thank them. I guarantee if you were to drive by any school right now, you would find 10+ cars in the parking lot.
Teachers are tirelessly working off the clock to perfect every little detail so that your child has a wonderful school year.
Teachers, you really are incredible and you make the world go round.
Thank. A. Teacher.
1/9 The outcry over Florida's African American History standards is absurd. That happens to be my academic field as a historian; I use to write extensively—including curriculum standards—on the topic. So I took some time to review Florida’s. The bottom line: they are excellent.
Men are worried that marriage will leave them with “only one woman” for the rest of their lives. That’s not true.
I fell in love with a 19-year-old rock climber, married a 20-year-old dog groomer, started a family with a 24-year-old mother, then built a farm with a 30-year-old homemaker. Today I’m married to a 33-year-old woman who has joyfully endured 4 babies, 3 miscarriages, and a chronically ill husband.
If your mind is healthy, you’ll never get tired of “one woman.” You’ll actually become overwhelmed with how many beautiful versions of her you get to marry over the years. Don’t say no to marriage; say yes and keep saying yes until the day you die.
