A Recipe for Success

 

At ECA, our vision is that school families Love God, Value Learning, and Serve Others.

Fall Recipes and Memories

One of my favorite memories as my two girls were growing up was entering the Fall season and making homemade pumpkin pies together. We would often grow our own sugar pumpkins, harvest them, bake them, and then mix everything together and bake a plethora of pies that would last us the whole upcoming year. Not only was it a recipe for a great tasting homemade pie, but it was a great recipe for creating family memories my family still enjoys today.

What about a recipe for success in our day-to-day lives?

20 My son, pay attention to what I say;
    turn your ear to my words.
21 Do not let them out of your sight,
    keep them within your heart;
22 for they are life to those who find them
    and health to one’s whole body.
23 Above all else, guard your heart,
    for everything you do flows from it.

Proverbs 4:20-23

The NAD (North American Division of SDA) has recently shared new resources for children and teens that offer a safe and anonymous place to talk or text. Here is a news release from the NAD.

We’re excited to announce the launch of www.aruggedjourney.org our newest NAD site providing free online mentoring for guys. A Rugged Journey joins www.gorgeous2god.org (for young women) which has grown in its scope and ministry since its beginning in 2017.

These sites, along with their counterparts on social media, provide free help to our teens/young adults in a space they can ask questions without judgment or fear. The questions are answered by a team of dedicated Seventh-day Adventists at AIM on the campus of Andrews University.

In addition to the confidential Q & A, positive content is provided through videos, posts, etc.
