School prayer

and I began to pray diligently and ask direct questions to Jesus. We knew he would give us an answer on what our next steps should be. We prayed for Jesus to show us a good city that had God-fearing people, good quality communities, and superior schools. In June of 2013 he spoke to me and showed me wonderful places to live in the United States and a city came up in Money magazine called McKinney, Texas. I remember telling my husband and parents we needed to take a trip and see if this was a…

grandmother how the church works and the schedule it follows; it begins with some praying in the front of the sanctuary which later transitions to some of the church's musicians getting on stage and playing some soft, relaxing music to make the mood more prayer-like. The people inside of the sanctuary were adults and some older teens. There were no children inside because the church held organized classes arranged by age and gender in other rooms. This allowed for the auditorium to be peaceful…

Claim: A student at the school, where I am the principal, has been hit by a car over the weekend. I will do everything in my power to calm and comfort my students. In the case of the student council asking to say a prayer over the loud speaker, I will have to turn them down. I will explain to the students that we are legally not allowed to offer prayer over the loud speaker, as it forces all students to hear the prayer, and could disrupt their work or offend their religious beliefs. I will…

Observation: The student body section of the football game was most noticeable on the Heritage side and all the students seemed to be in one homogenous clump, with the exception of one or two separated groups and individuals. However, upon closer glance, the glaringly obvious racial divide clearly split the group of students down a chasm of social segregation. The divide appeared to be general accepted and almost unnoticed by the students, nothing beyond the ordinary, and the behaviors…

The journey has also include my thoughts, on what it would be like to counsel someone else that is in a different stage of faith than, myself. My faith journey will be divided into four stages. Stage 1: A mother’s love. Born into a lower middle class family, with both my parents, growing up in a very conservative and traditional household, we were all Southern…

Foster discusses that in prayer people begin to think God’s thoughts after Him, follow His desires, love what He loves, and to will the things He wills (Foster, 1998). Foster discusses real prayer and explains that real prayer does involve a learning process. The first thing Foster points out is that when he was researching prayer in the Bible, Jesus never once mentioned “if it be thy will” when He was praying for others. There…

friend Josie Bracken, she was a great support throughout the new experience. We leaned upon each other when we were asked question. Helping one another understand and answer the questions asked. We arrived that morning in what I think was a sunday school. That lasted about ten minutes after we arrived. As we entered it was very welcoming to see all the open faces. I remember walking in and being mentioned over by a friendly women to come sit. It was so nice to be welcomed over and greeted with…

Spiritual Reflection This assignment felt like an answered prayer. Just last night I asked God to help me be more open in this course because I struggle with writing about other faiths and doubts of my belief. My spiritual journey has made me the person I am today. I have always believed in God. I was born the daughter of Baptist minister and a Sunday School teaching mother. After turning one years old, my mother and father split. This event only strengthened my mom’s spiritual education in…
