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 we will 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
Daily Lectionary: Exodus 16:13-35; Hebrews 10:19-39
You shall have no other gods. What does this mean? We should fear, love and trust in God above all things. (The Small Catechism: First Commandment)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. The account of creation in Genesis 1 and 2 teaches us that God is God and we are His creatures. He is God. We are not. In his Large Catechism, Luther says, “A god means that from which we are to expect all good and in which we are to take refuge in all distress” (Luther’s Large Catechism).
Before the fall into sin, that’s exactly how Adam and Eve knew God. They knew Him to be a giver of all good things. After the Fall, they ran and hid from Him. His very presence terrified them. Now their fallen perception of God was that of a vengeful judge. He’s gonna get us!
What about you? Your Old Adam, your sinful nature, sees God in the same way. Bildad, Job’s “friend,” gives Job the same picture in Job 8. God saves the pure and upright. According to Bildad, the reason Job’s children died is that they must have sinned. Sinful man’s “idea” of God is a God who pays us back for our wrongs. Okay, maybe that’s a God we can certainly fear (in a dreadful sense!), but love and trust above all things?
No! Remember the voice from the cloud: “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.” Remember Jesus’ words to His disciples: “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work” (John 4:34). Jesus is satisfied by doing God’s work, by going to the cross to save you from your sins, to rescue you from your own cleverly-devised myths about who God is.
The Holy Spirit will open your eyes to who God truly is for you. Having been made new in Christ, buried and raised with Him in your Baptism, united with the One who pleased God in your place, the One who feared, loved and trusted God above all things, you can see God for who He really is. His delight is to save you in Christ, His beloved Son. Sorry, Bildad! In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.
This is God’s beloved Son! Law and prophets sing before Him, First and Last and only One. All creation shall adore Him! Alleluia! (Jesus on the Mountain Peak, LSB 415:4)
