    “Let us remember: One book, one pen, one child and one teacher can change the world.” – Malala Yousafzai   

       Labor Day is upon us… summer is over… school has started.  Students are heading back to school.  Some are off to college, many for the first time.  I have one heading to college this weekend, and two starting high school this fall. I am excited for their future. However, I also know it takes both choices on their part, as well as an incredible investment on the part of the educators. As a former administrator and teacher, I know that our educators play an incredibly important and valuable role in the lives of our children.  It is not an easy job, and it is often thank-less.  May we start this year… being thank-full! 

       So… would you join me in prayer… first, for our students…  K-12, as well as our college students.  Second, would you also join me in prayer for our educators – our teachers, our administrators, and all the support staff (up here it would include LUHS, MHLT, AVW, North Lakeland, Flambeau, Rhinelander, Merrill, BVA, Trinity, along with others).  Pray for wisdom, grace, strength, health, peace, safety.  Pray for kindness and civility.  Pray for learning and growth.  Pray for encouragement. Truly, may this school year change the world… for the better… one teacher, one student at a time.  And that’s … real life. ~Pastor Steve Rowe – Eaglebrook Church
