CAN WE?
"What would you attempt if you couldn't fail?"
-Robert Schuller
This question is constantly at the forefront of my mind. Too often we ask "Can we do it" rather than "How can we do it." The most common reason why people don't over come the odds is that they don't challenge them enough. Limitations are rarely actually based on a lack of ability, rather, a lack of belief.
The great artist Michelangelo went into the studio of Raphael and looked at one of his early drawings. He considered it for a moment, then took a piece of chalk and wrote the word Amplius which means "greater" or "larger," across the entire drawing. Michelangelo was encouraging Raphael to think bigger. That's what we need to do!
John Maxwell once commented that when he was trying to build a great church and began interviewing people on how to do it. He was looking for someone to lay out the formula to success. There isn't one....which he realized.
"In time I came to realize that I needed to act on my dream and formulate the details as I made the journey. Mobility was critical to progress and my strategy began to evolve out of the process of discovery."
- John Maxwell
The point being is that no one is going to tell you when the time is right or the exact moment to press go. Don't miss the moment. "Too late" are the two words that sum up just about every failure in life according to Douglas MacArthur as I referenced a few weeks ago.
These concepts amplify the importance of your own personal relationship with Jesus. The closer you are with Him, the Word of God, and how in-tuned you are with the Holy Spirit, the more likely you are to feel its prompting and the calling placed on your life. Without these, your decisions will be based solely on your own intuition, ability, and limitations. Experience is great but it is your own advice on what has happened in the past. Not what is coming.
If we truly reflect on that question "What would you attempt if you couldn't fail?" We would all answer that we would be doing much more than we are now. AMPLIUS...!
Think "Greater!"
- Dr. Keith McDaniel

Students in Mrs. Arsenault’s 7th and 8th grade art classes created Cultural Food Trucks for their fall final. They researched the country from which their favorite food originates, then used their research results to create a food truck out of cardboard that included a logo, slogan, menu and overall color scheme.
High school art classes then voted on three criteria:
Best Overall Design: Kaitlyn Dillard
Best Logo/Slogan: Elysen Savage
Best Craftsmanship: Colson Rowe
