School started up again in the St. Louis Public Schools today. The students came back whether or not we were ready for them. As I think about the upcoming months, I wonder what may come. We got new computers at nearly all of the teacher's desks in the school. Will they work as desired? We have many new teachers in the building. Will they work together with the others of us who have been there in the past? We also have a new principal. What will the overall effect be on teaching and learning? That remains to be seen.

I also think about how things will go in other areas. My son is trying out for a local swim team next week. How will his season go? My daughter is involved in competitive gymnastics for the first time this summer. Will she experience success? What changes are coming our way this year? That also remains to be seen. Until we know, we will trust in God to protect us and see us through.
