Thoughts from the Principal…

The week of Thanksgiving it is a bit of a lay-up when it comes to my weekly article.  

So….what am I thankful for? 

I am thankful to work with and serve Christian people who can look past themselves and serve others. I have learned that if we only live for ourselves we miss out on so much in this life.  So many St. Paul people, both school families and church members, are examples of this gracious and giving way of life. 

I am thankful for those who have given of themselves to make our world better.  I am thankful for those who see needs and meet them without being asked and without needing recognition.  Our teachers do that all the time. I am thankful for kind words and smiles from people who care.  I am thankful for forgiveness and clean starts.  I am thankful for kindergartners and first graders who seem so happy to see me.  I am thankful for a congregation that values Christian Education.  I am thankful for football on the weekends!!! 

I can assure you that I could fill up a number of pages listing everything I am thankful for.  But the primary thing I am thankful for is that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ made the sacrifice to pay for my sins and for yours. Without that, there is nothing.  With that, there is everything.

Blessings to All,

Steve Hall; Principal
