Apple announced the next operating system for your MacBook Air.It is called Mojave. Please do not install this version at this time. We have found that printing is broken when you do. I am sure Canon will work on a fix after it is released, but until that time PLEASE DO NOT UPGRADE TO MOJAVE. If you do and break printing, the only option we have left is to re-image your machine and you may lose photos and documents. We will post when it is O.K. to upgrade.
If you have not upgraded to High Sierra, now is the time to do that. High Sierra will prepare your system for what Mojave will introduce. If you have any questions, please contact tech support at techsupport@flhsemail.org.

DEVOTIONAL
The Answer’s On the Way!
One day Elisha went to Shunem. And a well-to-do woman was there, who urged him to stay for a meal. So whenever he came by, he stopped there to eat. 2 Kings 4:8
The Bible refers to this woman as ‘a great woman’. That’s because she had a ‘great’ strategy for her life! She prepared a bedroom in her house for Elisha the prophet to use when he passed through town. As a result she got her heart’s desire: a baby boy. And later when her son died suddenly, God used Elisha to raise him from the dead. Notice three things in this woman’s story: 1) She made room for God. 2) Her dream came to pass. 3) When her dream died, God brought it back to life (see vv. 36-37). When her son died, the neighbors probably told her, ‘It’s over. Go ahead and bury him.’ But she refused to accept the opinions of unbelieving people or discuss her situation with those who were unqualified to help. Be careful who you open up to in a crisis! Make sure they know God, and that their words line up with His. This woman believed that if God started it, He could finish it. If He made it, He could fix it. The Bible tells us Elisha stretched out his body on top of the dead boy, and he got warm. But this boy needed more than warmth – he needed life. So Elisha stretched out on top of him again, and he became fully alive. There’s a lesson here for you. No matter how bad things look, stay on top of the situation by believing God. Walk the floor and pray all night if you have to, but keep standing on His Word. Your dream may not yet be fully alive, but it’s getting warm. Things are improving...God is moving...the answer’s on the way!
Prayer
Heavenly Father, help me to never give up on what You have been doing in my life. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
Heavenly Father, help me to never give up on what You have been doing in my life. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
