A Message from the Editor

Hello again, how are you doing? I’m all right I suppose. Reading Break is coming up isn’t it? That’s going to be very nice. I expect everyone’s going to be very busy. I am, I suppose. It’s quite inescapable now, there’s no time to be lazy anymore. However, be of good cheer, remember to take some time to relax, no matter how difficult it is to you.
You may notice that this issue is not released on Monday, as per our usual format, but has, instead, come out on a Wednesday. This is because of a little hiccup in the schedule that we call Family Day. From what I’ve heard it took quite a few people by surprise. But nevertheless, Family Day is a nice idea, and is something that should be celebrated, but I am still grieved by the attention that the family has been getting in our world recently.
My father tells me there used to be a pride that a parent had in raising up a right thinking, stable, good child, that seems to have faded. A divorce and a breakup are now barely distinguishable. It is a grievous marring on the world caused by human sin.
I want to send out to you a reminder today of the families in your life. The family of God, giving us all hundreds of brothers and sisters around the world, under the most loving and true father of all time, is a blessing in which we all share. In each other, in our friends, our professors, our mentors, we have family. I want to thank everyone who has been a part of my family here at the school, at home, and all those who, in showing the love of God to me, have been great brothers and sisters for which I am very thankful. I hope you had a great family day, and wherever you were, whether you were with your parents, or your friends, had a great time with your family, and a great day under the watchful eye of your Father.
