Faith Families... "Here We Stand!"
At our first Faith Family meeting this year, we talked about our school theme of "Here we stand: Word, Faith, Grace." For the younger kids, the abstract concept of "standing for" or "standing on" an idea or concept can be a little hard to understand. Generally, figures of speech that aren't used in today's culture don't make much sense. After some explanation, our Faith Family kids were asked, "What does Shepherd School 'stand for'?" (Pardon the grammar, please.)
Here are their answers: Shepherd stands for Jesus, faith, grace, the Bible, living our faith in Christ, reading the Bible, athletics, learning, compassion, accepting students of different faiths, respect, integrity and responsibility.
Wow! What a challenge to us as a school and to us as adults.
Jack Lipski, School Counselor...for the Faith Families of Shepherd

Jack's Corner 
In lieu of my traditional question/answer format, and as our church and school counselor, I want to offer some thoughts (not an exhaustive discourse) regarding the Las Vegas shooting. Although I address primarily those of the Christian faith in this article, my prayer is that everyone might glean something that helps them understand and act.
I don't want to minimize in any way the pain and the evil that was done. I was...
