Today's Thought

"Neither Satan nor any other power can weaken or destroy your growing character. Only you could do that through disobedience. That is why Satan is so intently focused on tempting you to make decisions that will undermine your character. Satan is an accomplished master at making devastating choices appear attractive, even reasonable. So be careful. At this critical time of life you will be faced with many choices. The decisions you will make will profoundly affect life now and for eternity. Make them wisely and prayerfully."

My Kind of Teacher...

A former Sergeant having served his time with the Marine Corps took a new job as a school teacher. Just before the school year started, he injured his back.  He was required to wear a plaster cast around the upper part of his body.
 
Fortunately, the cast fit under his shirt and wasn't noticeable.
 On the first day of class, he found himself assigned to the toughest students in the school. The smart aleck punks, having already heard the new teacher was a Marine, they were leery of him and decided to see how tough he really was before trying any pranks.
 Walking confidently into the rowdy classroom, the new teacher opened the window wide and sat down at his desk. When a strong breeze made his tie flap,
he took a stapler and promptly stapled the tie to his chest, twice.
 
He had no trouble with discipline that year.
