Road to Emmaus

Today we heard the story of Jesus' encounter with disciples on the road to Emmaus. This narrative is amazing for so many reasons. The concern of the disciples, Jesus joining them, the invitation to stay the night, the walk of 7 miles, the breaking of bread, the recognition of Jesus, the statement did not our hearts burn within us... and then the disciples returning to Jerusalem (7 more miles that very night) to join others and share the news: He is Risen Indeed! May we do likewise. Tell the story to those around us, invite others to break bread, and pray we may all see Jesus and proclaim: He is Risen Indeed!

Welcome back students after an Easter weekend. I traveled to Seattle and had a good visit with our son, his wife, and our two lovely granddaughters. Our Easter worship together at St. Joseph Catholic Church was one of the highlights.

For English, we continue to analyze poetry: literary devices, the quality of words, the themes....
Students will share haikus and water-color posters on Friday.

In Geography we just finished up our unit on Sahara desert life. Time and time again we came back to food resources, heat of sun, and availablity of water and how these factors influence how people live. Students shared nomadic campsites, and folk tales.

Yes, we are on the eternal road of faith. Easter assures us that Jesus walks with us... and the outcome to this journey is secure. Join His church on earth to proclaim: He is Risen Indeed!
Happy Easter.
