03/26/16 - NNHS Newsletter - Holy Saturday |
||
I am the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath. He hath led me, and brought me into darkness, but not into light. Surely against me is he turned; he turneth his hand against me all the day. My flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my bones. He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and travail. He hath set me in dark places, as they that be dead of old. He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy. Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer. He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked. - Lamentations 3: 1-9 (KJV) |
Dear Friends and Schoolmates,

HOMEWORK:
From
http://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/us/holy-saturday:
Many Christians in the United States observe Holy Saturday, which falls between Good
Friday and Easter
Sunday.
It commemorates the day when Jesus Christ lay in the tomb after his death,
according to the Christian bible. It is also known as Easter Eve and is the last
day of Lent.
Many Christians in the United States attend an Easter vigil service on Holy
Saturday. They remember Holy Saturday as the day when Jesus lay in his tomb. An
Easter candle is lit in some homes, particularly among families who cannot
attend the Easter vigil services. Easter vigil prayers are also made on this
day. Baptisms are held during some church services on Holy Saturday.
Many American families prepare for Easter Sunday celebrations on the Saturday
before Easter. Children decorate eggs with paint, crayon, water colors, stickers
and other material. These eggs are often placed in Easter baskets. Some people
buy chocolate eggs to eat around this time of the year. Many people of Mexican
descent who live in Los Angeles in California celebrate Holy Saturday with a
colorful ceremony known as the Blessing of the Animals.
...Congregation
members are sprinkled with blessed water in some churches in the United States.
This blessed water symbolizes purification and baptism. Candles that are used
for Easter vigil services represent the light of Jesus Christ, and that he
brings light into darkness.

The
battle for self-discipline may leave you a bit bruised and battered but
always a better person. Self-discipline is a rigorous process at best;
too many of us want it to be effortless and painless. Should temporary
setbacks afflict us, a very significant part of our struggle for
self-discipline is the determination and the courage to try again.....

SOME POINTS TO PONDER
As we grow older, and hence wiser, (hopefully)
we slowly realize that wearing a $300 or a $30.00 watch doesn't really
matter as they both tell the same time...
Thanks,

Gullibility Virus Spreading over the Internet! *********************************************** WASHINGTON, D.C.--The Institute for the Investigation of Irregular Internet Phenomena announced today that many Internet users are becoming infected by a new virus that causes them to believe without question every groundless story, legend, and dire warning that shows up in their inbox or on their browser. The Gullibility Virus, as it is called, apparently makes people believe and forward copies of silly hoaxes relating to cookie recipes, email viruses, taxes on modems, and get-rich-quick schemes. "These are not just readers of tabloids or people who buy lottery tickets based on fortune cookie numbers," a spokesman said. "Most are otherwise normal people, who would laugh at the same stories if told to them by a stranger on a street corner." However, once these same people become infected with the Gullibility Virus, they believe anything they read on the Internet. "My immunity to tall tales and bizarre claims is all gone," reported one weeping victim. "I believe every warning message and sick child story my friends forward to me, even though most of the messages are anonymous." Another victim, now in remission, added, "When I first heard about Good Times, I just accepted it without question. After all, there were dozens of other recipients on the mail header, so I thought the virus must be true." It was a long time, the victim said, before she could stand up at a Hoaxees Anonymous meeting and state, "My name is Jane, and I've been hoaxed." Now, however, she is spreading the word. "Challenge and check whatever you read," she says. Internet users are urged to examine themselves for symptoms of the virus, which include the following: * the willingness to believe improbable stories without thinking * the urge to forward multiple copies of such stories to others * a lack of desire to take three minutes to check to see if a story is true T. C. is an example of someone recently infected. He told one reporter, "I read on the Net that the major ingredient in almost all shampoos makes your hair fall out, so I've stopped using shampoo."
When told about the
Gullibility Virus, T. C. said he would stop reading email, so that he
would not become infected. - Jimmy Kimmel - Stephen Colbert Thank you, Shari!
