School Has Started Again
Cassville R-IV Schools began on August 18, 2011. And man, did my route change. It is a little longer.
I now go down to the place by the Lake I did when I first took the route four years ago. Down there I pick up two little girls who are a couple of sweet little girls, but need to learn how to stay in their seats, and be quiet; especially one of them; the youngest.
I do not think people realize how much of a distraction moving around and a loud voice can be to a bus driver. It really is though. One sudden move can call the driver’s attention to the mirror and away from the road. Sure we have training, and experience, yet, even the best and most professional driver can mess up, by a child’s scream and such as that.
When I Survey the Wondrous Cross
“When I survey the wondrous cross, On which the Prince of glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride.
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, Save in the death of Christ my God; All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to His blood.
See, from His head, His hands, His feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down; Did e’er such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown.
Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a present far to small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all.”
by Isaac Watts 1674-1748
and still a wonderful hymn of praise to our God and Savior Jesus Christ.
Always praising God along the banks of Flat Creek.
