Jordan's March Bible Devotional

     This month’s Bible devotional I’d like to share is on the verse Proverbs 10:1.  It talks about what a wise and a foolish son (or daughter) is to his/her parents.  It states,”…A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.”  This verse talks about us, the children of our parents, and how making certain decisions can affect our parents.
     You can read the full devotional in the Bible Devotionals page.

"Nerves, No Problem" By Jessi Sherman

     Nerves get the best of all of us sometimes. Whether we’re nervous about our first play, or first speech, or meeting someone for the first time, nerves and doubts can’t help but override our minds and feelings. Coming to Ocean Breeze, meeting a bunch of new people, going to a new place, and leaving the comfort of my home, I was extremely nervous. I had no idea what the school was like, or what the kids were like. I was scared and a little sick. Part of me wanted to hide.

     When I got home from my first day of school, I breathed a huge sigh of relief. Ocean Breeze is the school I’ve been looking for. I love it here. I am accepted for who I am, I’m not afraid to be myself, and I don’t have to feel pressured to conform to the way everyone else acts or thinks. I can be myself, and be proud of it. I can’t wait to build memories and make friends that will hopefully last a lifetime. I love it at OBBS, I really, really do!

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

Today is St. Paddy’s Day! If you’re not wearing green today, you are in danger of being pinched! The original reason for celebrating St. Paddy was the Christianization of Ireland, St. Patrick’s death, and St. Patrick’s feast day. Originally, St. Patrick was not associated with the color green, but rather the color blue. Over time, green became more popular. Saint Patrick did not teach that the shamrock signified luck, but rather the Trinity, three persons in one God.
