"Cast all your anxieties on him because he cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7

“The Times They are a Changing” was a poem and became the title of an early 1960’s Bob Dylan song. And, yes indeed, they are.
Seems like as soon as we become comfortable with “the times” another one comes along reversing the first one. Vaccinations, mandatory vaccinations, mandatory employment regulations, government interventions everywhere, booster shots, no booster shots, masks, masks everywhere. Then there is inflation, and more inflation on the horizon. Who wouldn’t be somewhat anxious over what might be around the next corner? As Dylan mentions in his song nothing is sacred, nothing is for sure, the world is changing faster than we can comprehend.
The song mentioned above was written 60 years ago. Dylan could hardly have predicted the events we face today. However, the consternation felt by his generation is similar to what we might be feeling today. All of this points to the reason we should be reaching for our Bibles more than ever. Scripture reminds us that there will be both good times and bad and that persecutions of a Christian mindset will always exist. Institutions we once believed in, education, local government, law enforcement, etc. seem to be morphing into entities we no longer recognize. Don’t point fingers, Satan is real.
Lutheran schools have led the way during this pandemic in attempting to “stay the course” of normality. Educating our children in God’s Word is central to the mission of a Lutheran school. And while sometimes we lose our way and believe our teaching methodology, or individual classroom knowledge, or music or sports programs are more important than our mission, life has a way of slapping us upside our heads and waking us to reality. “Preparing lives for today, tomorrow, and eternity” is what we hang our hats on here at Lutheran High. If we stray too far away from that theme, let us know. The world may go its own way, but we all need to stay on His course.
This is the perfect segue to mentioning our recruiting of students for the 2022-23 school year. We are excited about the prospects of a large class entering LHS. We are thrilled with the idea of working with students and families interested in living their faiths. Achievers and believers is how we refer to our students. Our students are receiving a great education, are exposed to the Word daily, and continue to grow in so many ways. Through and with Christ we continue to strive, thrive, and arrive places we know He has planned for us.
Join us won’t you? We believe Christ is still the answer to all those unanswered questions we encounter today.
