Crusader Corner, March 30, 2026

Thoughts from the Principal… 

I hope and pray that everyone had a wonderful spring break. As we return to school today it is the beginning of Holy Week. As Christians, we recognize this as a time of meditation and reflection on what our Lord and Savior did for us. It is a time that we recognize our sinfulness but celebrate the sacrifice that was made for us on the cross. It is a time to step away from the pressures and demands of life and focus on the cross.

St. Paul Lutheran School exists because of what Jesus did for us. In the midst of the hectic lives we live, we can take respite in the fact that Jesus provides rest for the weary. I have been around long enough to have a perspective and I really feel that in 2026, people are busier than ever before. There are so many things that keep us moving. There are so many opportunities for activities for our kids. With technology, we are reachable 24/7 and so “unplugging” is harder than ever before. Minutes, hours, days, and weeks fly by so quickly.

Jesus says, “Come to me all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” He desires that we take him up on that offer and go to Him. This could be a walk in the woods, or a time of reflection on the deck. It could be any way that fits your world. I like to talk to Him while on a drive or while I walk the puppy.

May God bless our families during this Holy Week.
