BENJI Good morning! I’m Benji Riddle – Director of Youth Ministry at Central United Methodist. It’s that time of year! School is starting back again – today even, for some, this week or the next for others. And while for many this is an exciting time of filing backpacks with fresh paper and new pencils and the start of a new year and new adventures, others of us may need some added motivation to get things going on the right foot. And this is true for students as well as parents of students, even educators and administrators. We get caught up in the worries of a new school year ahead of us, and we neglect to see the greatness in today. Corrie Ten Boom once said - “Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows; it empties today of its strength.” I pray that you are able to embrace today and the coming weeks for the great things that they are, that this school year would be fruitful, safe, and fun, and that you would go into each new day knowing that God is with you and loves you.
