At Faith Lutheran High School, we have been blessed to provide devices for students to use while at Faith and to offer them, upon graduation, to students that have been here for the full 4 years. We also allowed seniors who have been here for less than 4 years to purchase the school’s laptop. This will be changing this year.
This year Apple has changed the MacBook Air line up and because of these changes wewill need to modify expectations on the way we sell MacBook Air to seniors.
In the past, seniors could purchase their laptops if they had been at faith less than 4 years. Students that have been with Faith the full four years were given the school’s laptop at no cost. This has been changed.
We need to make sure we can support all the future classes of students and the changes we will make to sell laptops will be that we will not sell laptops to students that have been here less than 3 years. If you have been here 3 years or more and less than the full 4 years, the laptop can be purchased for $300 (unless that device is a newer model than what was originally assigned which may be more). Laptops, if found damaged, will incur fees to repair.
We also must state that future offerings to students that are here less than the full 4 years is not a guarantee. We may have to restrict this more in the future.
If you are not a senior completing your full four years and are not returning to Faith, we will not sell the school’s laptop to you.

DEVOTIONAL
Today’s Reading: 1 Samuel 17:40-51
Daily Lectionary: Genesis 13:1-18; Mark 5:1-20
Daily Lectionary: Genesis 13:1-18; Mark 5:1-20
And the Philistine looked over and saw David, he disdained him because he was a kid, ruddy and handsome in his face. (1 Samuel 17:42)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. You can’t win. You can’t beat him. He’s too big. There’s too much to do. You’ve failed so many times before, so why even try? Everyone is going to see you crash and burn. You’re going to be exposed for the hypocrite and fake that you really are.
Doubts. Despair. Loneliness. Faithlessness. These are the loudest voices that you hear in your mind. Behind these voices isn’t just self-doubt, it’s far worse! You don’t believe that God will rescue you. You don’t deserve Him. Who are you against the Goliaths of this world?
Everyone was running from that Philistine Goliath. He mocked God. He mocked the soldiers of Israel. And what could they do? Nothing! He was just too…too much of a Goliath for them.
David was a handsome kid. That means he was a “pretty boy” and not a soldier. But when He saw the giant blaspheming God, he became furious! Who was this who defied the Lord? How dare he, no matter how tall and great and strong he was!
King Saul, as he cowered from the mocking giant, tried to arm David. He put his armor on him: helmet, chest plate, sword, shield, the whole shebang. It must have been comical to see a kid in man’s armor as Saul assured him, “You can do it!”
David took off the armor and grabbed his staff. Saul’s stuff was just getting in the way. God would save him. He grabbed five smooth stones from the river on his way to the battlefield.
“Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?” Goliath mocked him and cursed him to his false gods. It all seemed lost. David wasn’t trusting in himself when he lifted up his sling. He trusted God. God would deliver the giant into his hands. God would save him.
God did indeed save David and Israel from Goliath that day. God has saved you, too, from all the voices of doubt and despair in your world. Take a deep breath. Look at Jesus. See Jesus’ Lent and what He did for you. See how He conquered the devil, the world, and your sinful nature. He died and rose so that you might live and be forgiven.
No matter what else happens to you, win or lose, you are going to be okay in Jesus. Actually, you’ll be more than okay! You are and will be forgiven. His salvation turns your losses into wins, your failures into victories, and your doubt into trust. Believe it for Jesus’ sake! In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.
