Home of the Falcons

The home of the Falcons is a wonderful place to be.  There are beautiful rocks all around it.  The rocks are showing off their bright red colors.  On the east side there is the Carrizo Mountains standing proudly.  It is a nice, peaceful and quiet place God has made.  God picked this place for His special worship, work, and to teach the young people by opening the richness of the Bible to them.  They can learn that it will make a difference in their hearts and it helps them to realize that they are a part of God’s special people.  We pray that they could go on to higher education with the guide of God and someday they could return to the home of the Falcons to help continue school for the young people by teaching them.

I am always amazed to see a student learn a new lesson, undertake an imaginative journey, and suddenly discover a world of ideas and thoughts. The most exciting thing in a teacher’s life is to see the proverbial light bulb go on in a students head as they suddenly grasp the meaning of a word, the logic of an equation , or the relationship of history to their lives.

Teachers are like gardeners who plan seeds in fertile earth.  Add a little intellectual fertilizer, let the sun and rain bring life to the seeds and then we get to watch the seeds become flowers and plants and sometimes even towering trees.  Matthew 13:4
