The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
\n<\/span>Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
\nThere is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
\nTheir line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world.
\nPsalms 19:1-4<\/span><\/p>\n

School started on Tuesday, Aug. 12th<\/sup> in the middle of what felt like a whirlwind; teachers cleaning classrooms, preparing lessons, and planning for each individual student whom God has placed in our classrooms. We know that some will not know Him, while others may know Him, but not fully comprehend the greatness, love and grace of our God.\u00a0 We have the unique privilege of being the hands of Jesus as He shows Himself to every one of them, and we are excited!<\/span><\/p>\n

At a teacher\u2019s retreat before school started, we were challenged with these question: \u201cIf the whole earth is filled with the glory of God, are my students getting some of that?\u201d We were once again reminded that what is important at the end of the day is that the students have learned something about the glory of God.<\/span><\/p>\n

For Lois and I, this exciting time at school is just part of God’s glory in the Gillespie family. On Aug. 27th<\/sup>, we welcomed granddaughter #2. Hannah Skye, who arrived weighing 7 lb. 9 oz. and \u2018standing 20 inches tall. She joins big sister Summer Dawn.\u00a0 Lois is there helping Daddy with Mommy, Summer and Hannah \u2013 and loving every minute of being a \u2018Gwamma Gwespie\u2019. <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
