    • ]]>     Ok, these have no eternal value, but it shows the delightful moments social media can give us. Here are Facebook statuses from two of MSA’s former students:

    Well in chapel today the announcement guy was doing the announcements and he was talking about some trip and he said that “space is limited” and so I leaned over to Dylan Salyards and said “space isn’t limited, space is infinite!” (Ezra Tillman at Lancaster Bible College)

    • ]]>     Mt Sophia Academy- Intentionally maximizing our students’ unique abilities, creating a culture for Christ

    This is our mission in a sound bite. And every word is “intentional”.

    Please allow me to review it with you…

    Intentionally

    “Intentionally” has several different meanings which apply here.

    One meaning is “doing things with a purpose, towards a goal”. We are working towards the goal of having our students’ abilities developed well.

    Another meaning is “looking at something, putting one’s attention on something”. That fits also. We are looking at each student’s uniqueness to see what God wants to develop there.

    Maximizing

    “Maximizing” also has a couple of pertinent meanings.

    One meaning is “to increase to the greatest possible amount”. I doubt this one can actually be reached this side of heaven, because our children have God’s abilities working along with their own abilities. Still, we want to steward those gifts.

    “To make the fullest use of” is the other definition. We are aiming in this direction for sure.

    Here is a thought, “What if the students at Mt. Sophia come to know their God-given gifts and abilities and work to enjoy them?”

    Woo-Hoo! That will be fun!
