Though there were glitches, the opening of PWC (Prince William County) schools was virtually amazing—pun intended! Dr. Walts praised administrators, teachers and all staff at each school for their hard work and dedication in preparing for September 8. Though there were some issues with the Zoom and CANVAS software programs, students signed on and were able to make immediate adjustments to the new learning environment.

Something sad that came out in discussion from community commenters is that some children did not turn on their cameras so they could be seen—because they’re embarrassed about their living conditions. Yet, teachers find it’s easier to instruct live faces. The Board is looking into backgrounds that those students can display behind them, so their cameras can be turned on with the rest of the class.

To make the roll-out smoother for all students, over 44,000 learning devices were handed out for remote learning. In…

It is one of those things a citizen of the United States would almost have to be dead not to notice. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died. Here was the initial reaction from several Liberal news media publications.

• Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Supreme Court’s Feminist Icon, Is Dead at 87 (nytimes.com)
• READ: Supreme Court announces Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death (cnn.com)
• Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Champion Of Gender Equality, Dies At 87 (npr.org)
• Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was shaped by her minority faith and passionate about Judaism’s concern for justice (chicagotribune.com)

How is the battle to replace Ginsburg shaping up? Here is the Liberal perspective again.

Should your church be meeting during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic? That is something the members of each church should be able to decide for themselves. Will some people make poor choices? Yes. However, politicians don’t necessarily make better decisions. The majority doesn’t necessarily make better decisions. That is why we have a constitutional republic.

Consider (click on the link) California’s Gestapo COVID Church Restrictions: Eric Metaxas with John MacArthur (christianoutlook.com). Here Metaxas interviews MacAuthur. The subject? California authorities are trying to keep churches closed, and MacAuthur trying to keep his church opened.

We all want to know why we exist. We all want to know what special task God may have given us. So, we wonder. Why doesn’t God tell me what He wants me to do.

Does anyone know why God does not tell each of us what we are suppose to do? Christians know that God gave us the Bible, but not many people claim to be receiving individual direction from God.

Why doesn’t God tell each of us what to do? Well, he did talk to Adam and Eve directly, but, as Genesis 3 explains, Adam and Eve disobeyed Him. Since then God has not communicated directly with many of us. As Numbers 12:6-8 makes clear, when God communicated mouth to mouth with Moses, that was an exception, not the rule.

So, what can we do? If God won’t talk to us, how can we know what God wants?…
