Each Wednesday I remember the phrase "Hump Day".  As kids we always referred to the middle of the week as "Hump Day" simply because it symbolized (in our visual minds) we had climbed to the top of the hill and was sliding toward the fun we had planned for the weekend.  Although it might sound crazy I still think of that phrasing each and every week when Wednesday rolls around!

Last evening I got the opportunity to see a lot of my "teacher friends".  Unfortunately it was at the funeral home for the father of one of the teachers.  This same gentleman (great adjectives for this truly "gentle man") was also a member of my church.  It was good to gather and reflect upon memories and see so many of our dear friends.  This was a happier occasion than most since our dear friend had suffered with health problems for many years.  We know he is enjoying the beginning of his eternal dwelling with our Lord.

Hope each one of you have an awesome day and, as school begins for many students and teachers, please remember to pray for our nation and the learning that takes place within those institutions.  Pray for the hearts and minds of the teachers, administrators and students that are being entrusted to them for hours each day.  May God be honored and glorified in each lesson and action.  And may the children come prepared to listen and learn.   God bless, my friends!
