“Boys, pray that the fruit doesn’t freeze tonight. I’m counting on the money from the fruit to put the roof on the school.” My father shared this prayer request over dinner one night. A hard freeze was in the forecast. We had a small 9-acre grove surrounding our house on Lake Miriam Drive in the […]
MORE Great Parent Resources for Kids! We are so blessed at LSC by the opportunity to encourage one another and build each other up as we strive together toward parenting our children in the Lord.

Last Wednesday we had a special guest on-campus, Lillian Vega, Polk County Deputy from the Criminal Prevention Division. She shared important information and helpful resources to protect our children on the internet. Our children are experiencing a completely different world than we did as kids.

For one of our crafts, I had planned for my students to make signs that read, “Holy Holy Holy.” Once that part of […]
I was on supervision duty a few weeks ago, and what I expected to be a normal teacher obligation turned out to be a wonderful blessing for my week. As I stood by the gate greeting students when they entered, I was pleasantly reminded of the very atmosphere of LCS I enjoyed during my time […]

The long hallway looked daunting. I clutched my Garfield lunchbox as a parent volunteer pointed me in the direction of the last door on the left. It would be a long walk to my third grade classroom.
