Prayer is a constantly available weapon in a world increasingly stealing the hearts and minds of our children. Without Aaron and Hur’s support of Moses’ raised hands in prayer, the battle was doomed. With their support, God blessed the warriors with victory (Exodus 17:11-12). At Dakota Christian School, our children and school staff enter a tactical training center for facing the chaos of life in a world warped by sin. DEEP time is essential both inside and outside the training center so we seek your prayers daily. By way of suggestion, we offer this calendar for daily prayers. Please feel free to share this with any supporters of the mission of DCS. (Copies available in the office.)

A dear friend gave me a framed picture that says “God gives us our memories so that we may have roses in December”. And since I’m in the December of my years in education, I thought I’d share some of the beautiful roses God has given me. (I don’t usually name names. However, if you were part of a memory below, feel free to name yourself.)
Those are just a few flowers in my large rose garden…a garden this big will take a lot of time tend it. But oh, the benefits! I get to enjoy all of them! If you wonder what I’m up to not at school, I’m enjoying my roses.
