My adult daughter texted me this week and said, "I think the Lord is coming back". I replied, "All of this is in the Bible; and the Bible says it's going to get worse. I pray that all of my children's hearts are ready, or will be, before it's too late."
Did you ever think it could get any worse than it is today? What's going on has literally separated families from each other. How can you profess to be a Christian and not see satan's fingerprints all over what is happening?

Recently, I heard author Lacey Finn Borgo, a Christian author and teacher, speak and I was struck by her remarks concerning our imaginations. She noted that adults often inform her that they no longer have an imagination or that they simply do not imagine any longer. To which she replied, well what is worry then? Is worry not our imagination imagining the worst...and don't you worry - therefore, don't you imagine?
Whoa.

School staff have been working hard behind the scenes at Coopers Elementary School, Southern Nash Middle School and Southern Nash High School. Thank you so much for your efforts to keep students supplied with lessons needed while learning from home.

When I was younger, all throughout elementary school I would go to summer camps.
These camps would range to ones about cooking, golf, art and softball.
I wasn't sure of which activity would be the one that I fell in love with, if there would even be one at all.
I think this all changed for me when I went to my first Ladybird Softball Camp held at Southern Nash High School.

At first when I heard that the season was delayed, I didn't believe it.
I just couldn't mentally process that my senior season might be cut short.
I remember hearing that season was delayed until April 6 and I really didn't think anything of it -- it hadn't sunk in yet and all I knew was that it was Game Day the next day.

It is said, "Oh you'll get 'em next time" or "there will be more games".
Well, eventually, there are no more games and it has come to an end.
Normally, this end is thought out and you are celebrated and congratulated on all your great accomplishments.
There is that natural flow to the season from beginning to end, and you get that sense of closure as you finish high schoo land look toward what is to come.

I'm Kamden Johnson of Northern Nash High School -- my spring sport was Track and Field.
I've been doing this since my freshman year, I honestly used to hate track to begin with and used to ask myself 'Why am I here?'.
Over time, the sport really grew on me and I think it was really because of my teammates and how I started to become better at it.
What really solidified my love for it was when we won the Class 3-A East Regionals my sophomore year and finished sixth as a team in the state.

Through two Class 3-A Big East Conference matches, our golf team at Northern Nash High School had already performed above expectations.
With four seniors on the team, and many different younger players that brought lots of talent to the course, I was extremely excited to see how the season would unfold four our group of guys, and around the rest of the conference.
However, we had no clue what was in store.
