Zeek, your mom will continue to be in my prayers. It is a lot to face when you have other changes going on in your life, too. Adulthood is not as fun as they made it out to be, that's for sure! May God be with your family as you draw closer to each other. May you feel His comfort and peace.

They don't call you WarTim for nothin'!

We are starting face to face, primarily in the hopes that it won't be a problem, but also so we can develop relationships with our kiddos and assess where they are right now. Not a huge focus on the academics just yet, which I am thankful for. We got to have Open House for the Kindergarten kiddos, and seeing their precious faces let me know that I am where I need to be right now. Both they and their parents need a lot of reassurance at this time. Prayers for you to have a wonderful new experience with a new group of children that God picked out for you and you for them!!! With you being virtual, at least you don't have to figure out how to keep all their things separated and keep them from getting in each other's space. It's going to be interesting, for sure. 🙂 And good luck with your knees. I hope the shots keep you pain free. I highly recommend watching the message linked. It was very, very powerful. I need a reset every now and then on how I view the world and how I should view the world. This message met a great need in me. Holy Spirit is speaking loudly in this message! 🙂

Oh, no! I hate to hear that. I am sorry for your losses and prayers that you don't need surgery. I did get a cortisone shot in my knee and it did help for a couple of months. Then the pain came back and I decided I should just go ahead and do it! It wouldn't have been so bad, except for the fact that I did surgery on Friday and back to school on Monday! But given the current environment and all the uncertainty, I didn't have much choice. I was banking on not starting on time, but our district dug their heels in and said it's a go! I will keep you in my prayers, @WarTim. It surely is nice to have friends praying for you.

Excuse the whining, but hobbling around on a knee that I just had surgery on, trying to get a classroom ready for kids when we don't even know what our school day/year is going to look like has been HARD. And painful. And thanks for letting me say that, even though it is whining when so many other people have so many worse things happening...God bless us all.

@gr82be, I finally watched this after a very LONG and HARD week. It was so powerful!!! Thank you so much for sharing. He describes perfectly what society is doing to one another right now and how God is so much bigger than that. As an added bonus, I got to release some tears that have been building up all week.

I’m gonna watch it, just not tonight. Thanks for sharing gr82be. 😊

Evidently not, because it didn’t deter any of y’all from bullying ol’ Gus! 😂😂😂

Anyone want Gus? I'm kind of lukewarm on him and the only reason I've taken him the past two years is to keep you numskulls from totally bullying him in front of me, a sweet kindergarten teacher. Didn't work so well, did it? Oh, well.

Goodness, what good are these tests if it takes weeks to get them back??? Glad they are doing better, E.

Nathan, I am praying for you and your family with all sincerity and fervor. I am hoping that we continue to hear from you. I want to know how you are doing. My family has stopped watching the news. I am not going to be pulled into division and hate. I see signs of worse things coming, but it is time for those of us who are believers to unite. I am happy that you will be with family soon. Know you are loved and cared for and will always be part of our Family. Football and music are a means for us to connect with each other and find common ground. You've always been someone that I have connected with, because you have always stated your opinion with honesty, humor and humility. Your character (a reflection of your belief) shows through. I would hate not to have you post anymore, but I understand you have larger things you are thinking about. May God cover you with His healing hands and give you peace and comfort. Much love from this Auburn fan.

You're the man with 5 bags, I think. 😉

What a great young man! He was personal friends with a young man we know and he can attest to his good character. He did represent Auburn well, even if he made a terrible decision on that fateful night. I will always think of him whenever I see Gus call that play in the corner of the end zone. War Eagle #43!

So, EXTRA prayer for you is in order!!! Father, please allow Nathan to handle this chemo with NO nausea! You are a BIG God and we know that You can provide ALL his needs and cover ALL his worries. We trust in YOUR power, not Nathan's or any human's. You are faithful and we know you love your servant, Nathan. We ask this in the name of your blessed Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ. AMEN!!!

I know you were supposed to start chemo again this week @AUsince72. You feeling okay with it? Sending prayers on your behalf.
