Upward, Fall Festival and Mini-atheists

Upward Basketball season is upon us again. For you who don't know about this time. Let me give you a briefing. We first evaluate kids to make the teams even. The grades are from K-6th and it is Co-ed. The very first year we did it we had 36 children. The following year it was almost 60. Last year because of a 2nd league entering we had 35. Well there has been another league started. This I am afraid may be the end of Upward at Poplar Spring. We will only have to wait and see.


Fall Festival is tonight at North Elementary. I am sure Micah and the girls will enjoy spending time at this event. From what I can remember as a kid there is games, food and other things for the children to take part in.

Buffy has coined a phrase now. Yesterday we were discussing how teachers have to be careful on what they say. If they ask you to pray for a fellow student that could lead to trouble. Although today the word prayer has become a generic term. I can remember after 9-11 that the president asked the country to PRAY. I sensed in this message that it was a way to say thoughts and prayers. So anyway teachers have to be careful in what they say. Buffy said because the "mini-atheists" will go home and tell their parents about what was said. Then before you know it the teacher is warned not to say such things. Maybe if enough of us would band together about items that are opposite to our faith then this madness would stop. I mean what if a teacher said "The earth is 100,000,000 years old". Is she stating a fact? NO ! Because that can't be proven. So in the same way she is teaching something that she is convinced of....but it is not proven. Hmmm...........Can you say I opened a can of worms? I believe so.

Well have a great Friday and begin a good weekend!
BTW this is my 100th post!! Whoo hooo!
