allows up their sins and foolishness in one great gush of grace. It's absurd. What have you done that causes you to think God may be disappointed or perturbed toward you? Whatever it is, you need to set it aside because that's what He has done. As absurd as it sounds, God isn't interested in what you've done in the past. He lives with you in the now and wants you to live in this moment of grace and accept His forgiveness.
Jesus showed us our Fathers heart when He had the Father of the prodigal son throw him a party when he returned home without so much as a mention of what the boy had done. Thats your God.
Refuse to accept His acceptance and youll lock yourself inside a prison of your own making. Accept His acceptance and youll run in the joyful freedom only known by those who know their sins never appear on Gods radar  never.
Youve messed up? Welcome to the world of great children of God. It happened. So put it aside now. Dont insult the finished work of Jesus on the cross by insisting on trying to share in dealing with it through your own gnawing guilt and spiritually suicidal self-consciousness. You are forgiven. You are free. You are one with the One who keeps no record of wrongs and promises to never remember them again.
So dance. Run. Laugh. Play. Celebrate. Thats what the Father, Son and Spirit are doing and He asks you to join in right now.
Wow, thank you for your post Mahoney. It is BEAUTIFUL. I copied it and am going to send it to others, and keep it for myself also. This is awesome. Just what i needed.
One correction though: i believe it was Elijah, not Elisha who was depressed, wanted to die, and whom God sent food to. See I Kings 17:6.Good news from Ozark Mountain Country!
Branson, MO — Legacy Academy, a classical Christian education school, raised $50,000 in a BINGO fundraiser to help families provide uniforms in the 2021- 2022 school year and to create a uniform scholarship fund. Using BINGO cards, participants earned money by performing curriculum-related tasks assigned a dollar amount. The fundraising effort was completed by the children attending Legacy Academy, their friends and families, and support from area businesses.
Dr. Tim Taylor, Secretary of the Board of Education and Headmaster at Legacy Academy, explained that a classical Christian education is rigorous and requires a concentrated focus on academics. To maintain this focus and limit distractions, Legacy decided to implement a uniform policy. “We are very serious about partnering with parents, and we didn’t want the financial burden of providing uniforms to be an obstacle for families,” Taylor said.
According to Taylor, the goal was to raise money to help parents purchase uniforms and to establish a scholarship fund to help future parents with financial needs. “We accomplished just that!” Taylor added.
The administration of Legacy Academy reached out to parents interested in forming a Uniform Fundraising Committee, and the response was overwhelming. “We are thrilled with the incredible success of this fundraiser. It really demonstrates the love and support our parents have for the school, and the community we have together” Kathryn Jones, Director at Legacy Academy said.
A total of $50,000 was raised.
There was a 91% participation rate in the school.
49 out of the 58 children who participated have their uniforms paid for.
A healthy scholarship fund was also created for families that need financial assistance to cover uniforms in the future.
“Thank you to everyone who has helped support our school as we work diligently to train Godly young men and women who will grow to lead and serve in our community. I am honored to be a part of the Legacy team,” Jones added.
Kristy Farris, Fundraiser Committee Chair, elaborated on the success of the school and community raising over $50,000 in 14 days. “I think we can all agree that God’s hands were all over this fundraiser. We are immensely grateful for all that Legacy represents as a growing, classical Christian school in our community!” Farris said.
On Friday, April 23, the entire school celebrated the success of the fundraiser with an assembly. The BINGO-themed fundraiser included unique incentives for the students as they continued their learning and raised funds for the school. Some of those incentives included getting to take their shoes off in class, silly stringing Dr. Taylor, and pieing their coaches.
Legacy Academy will add fifth grade next year (2021-2022) with a maximum class size of 18. There are openings available in Second, Third, and Fourth Grade. For more information on a classical Christian education, please email |||EMAIL_ADDRESS||| call |||PHONE_NUMBER|||, or visit legacybranson.com.
Legacy Academy is a private, classical Christian school in Branson, MO. In the spring of 2016, a small group of parents approached FBC Branson Pastor Neil Franks with the idea of starting a private Christian school. Over the next several months, numerous conversations led to the birth of Legacy Christian Academy during the 2016-17 school year. Legacy started at the First Baptist Church of Branson with a kindergarten class comprised of 6 students. Having added one grade per year, today Legacy has 64 students in grades K-4. The Legacy Board of Education is committed to the continued expansion of Legacy through grade 12. Looking toward the future, our current fifth-grade class will be seniors during the 2028-29 school year, and the first graduation will take place in May 2029.
To be the best working team that you can be, you should train in all different situations, thereby acclimating your dog to every possible situation he may encounter. Also train with different people, take seminars, etc. In other words, take your training to the highest levels possible.
With double blind evaluations, you really know that you and your dog are working together as a team. You should NEVER know the location of hides or subjects on certifications. This just leads to the handler cueing the dog into giving his indication, for fear that you may miss something. But if you are afraid that the dog may miss something, then the real question is, are you really ready for certification? If so, then perhaps you need more training before attempting that certification.
In January 2013, the SPC Transport Programme commenced a data and information collection project to profile the current aviation environment across its Pacific Island member countries and territories (PICTs). It is anticipated that this project will culminate in the development of a reference guide for Pacific aviation. While the Pacific Aviation Reference Guide will be produced in hard copy, the information and data will also be reproduced on this site in the form of individual country profiles.People who think they're too cool to be there.  You payed the money to come in so why wouldn't you try and have fun?

The groups of drunk frat guys are actually one of my favorites because they're all there to have a good time.

Also I've seen some terrible parents.  I don't think we have an age limit (assuming you're with a parent) and sometimes you get some young kids.  The maze is actually pretty scary and some of those kids are clearly legitimately terrified.  I remember hearing this kid bawling and the mom and dad saying "we already payed, we're not turning around" with 0 sympathy.By by Nathan Eagle - The Garden Island | Thursday, February 21, 2008, 12 a.m.
After several years of wrangling, the county has a bill in place again to stop the proliferation of new vacation rentals blamed for destroying neighborhoods from Kekaha to Ha‘ena.
The divisive community debate has pitted real estate agents against residents, property rights advocates against government officials, County Council members against each other.
Public testimony over the proposed ordinance and its multitude of amended versions has included fiery remarks, impassioned pleas, a plethora of legal opinions and concerns over possible Sunshine Law violations.
County Council, yesterday, at the Historic County Building reconsidered and approved the legislation, known as Bill 2204, for its third time in three weeks. The final vote on the compromise bill was 5-1, with some lawmakers voicing reservations, councilman Tim Bynum dissenting and councilman Ron Kouchi’s absence excused.
While acknowledging the new ordinance’s power to stop the creation of new single-family transient vacation rentals outside visitor designated areas, critics say the bill does nothing to heal the wounds some neighborhoods have suffered since the problem was identified eight years ago in the county’s General Plan.
Would-be supporters question whether the amended bill effectively provides an opportunity for vacation rental owners on ag land to be “grandfathered” under the new law by proving they legally existed prior to the legislation’s approval.
Some council members, including Shaylene Iseri-Carvalho and Mel Rapozo, say state law prohibits vacation rentals on ag land primarily because it is a commercial use.
But attorneys representing landowners said the law has a provision that says prior lawful uses must be recognized and a county-imposed blanket exclusion begs a lawsuit.
The final version of the bill provides a nexus to the state land use law by stating: Pursuant to Hawai‘i Revised Statutes Chapter 205, no nonconforming use certificate shall be issued for any single-family transient vacation rental located on land designated agricultural by state law.
The approved bill provides two exceptions: The unit was built prior to June 4, 1976, or the applicant has a special permit under state law.
County Planning Director Ian Costa said yesterday that to his knowledge there has never been an application on Kaua‘i for a
