Schools are now open. Students and teachers are back in the classrooms. Coaches and athletes are on the practice field. Bands are getting ready for Friday night. Show choirs are developing their completion shows. As a boy growing up, the beginning of school meant a new notebook, new pencils, a new lunch box, and a pair of new shoes. Going to school the first day we were probably as decked out in new clothes as on Easter! The beginning of school is one of those times in our lives when you "get to begin again" with new challenges, but with new opportunities. As we get older it seems like we get fewer and fewer of those opportunities to begin again in the same way we did when we were in school. The Good News of the Gospel is that we believe in a God of second chances and the opportunity to begin again as forgiven and redeemed. You may not be starting in a new grade this week, but reflect on the opportunities you have had to start over. Be grateful!
Grace & freedom,
Ellis
