Fresh Vitality and Christian Education
Regarding "The One Who Baptizes in and with the Holy Spirit" Darrell Johnson writes, "The one common denominator for all is the experience of newness. There is a new quality of life, a freshness, a Divine nearness and intimacy, a different kind of vitality" (Page 29). This quote reminds of the verse "If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation." One part of Christian education that I find particularly beautiful and powerful is being able to be used as "new" creations to inspire Christ's "re-creation" (also known as recreation in my line of work) in the hearts and minds of students, staff, and parents. To participate in the transforming work of Christ brings such deep joy and meaning. I love it. Thanks Jesus for this opportunity to serve.

I am so encouraged by what so many have done and are doing in the hearts and lives of so many people at JECHS. The heart to me is the matter to so much of the book and to so many other issues that come to us on a daily basis. We need to keep a clear and open heart all the time because we do not know what is around the bend for us and only God knows what he is going to do with us day in and day out.
