Our Heavenly Father flooded the planet, in part because of what people were thinking.

5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

Larry,

Despite the human wisdom that attorneys provide you, God is the one that referred to a millstone.

Paddington Bear
I had a wonderful teacher in 4th and 5th grade
She had us memorize I Corinthians 13

Navy guy

We would develop at least five batches of pictures a week.
two batches of pictures on Sundays
The yearbook committee would meet on Thursday

One Sunday, the Ohio State graduates gave us each a docinho as a reward....little piece of candy
We left on our bikes, dropping the wrappers on the ground
Later that day, upon returning for duty (usually at 2 pm), we discovered that our littering had been observed.
Arden and Jeanette were awesome people and awesome teachers. Jeanette provided structure. Arden would provide those links/connections that young minds could use to imagine and discover. We were in 7th grade math in 1981, using the Beka book, and Arden walked in, announcing the news about Sadat.
That was a crucial moment in world history, and I had a teacher that made me curious. He would briefly mention something about service in the Navy. He was brilliant. Just last month, I got to work on a project with an attorney from Westchester County. He and Arden could be brothers. Their ability to observe human nature in action, their wealth of knowledge, their respect for women, and their overall gentle nature.

I have tried to communicate my appreciation for the many people that worked at Via from July 30, 1978, to May 1, 1987.
We had a great school.
Godly teachers and dormparents.

As an NTM board member said to a Brazilian missionary in Sanford in the fall of 2010, God doesn't promise us that we won't encounter evil.
That's true.
But the story of Achan and Ai is there for a reason.
