The school year is over and the students are happy. They're planing what to do with their summertime free time. Maybe the first few days they'll sleep-in and then play with their friends, then travel here and there, etc. Please remember, "LIFE  ON  THIS EARTH  WILL  SOON  PASS;  ONLY  WHAT'S  DONE  FOR  CHRIST  WILL  LAST." Saying this is a good way to start everyday. It helps us to slow down and think about what is important and what is pure folly in our lives. (Have a Safe & Wonderful Summer Vacation  from  School,  NOT FROM CHURCH !
