School has been in session for over a month, and the biggest news to report has been the firing of several high school football coaches and the almost suspension of a school superintendent. Football season practically dominates school activities, with various schools having their homecoming events to instill school pride among their students.

If they are wise, they will face God someday. If they are wise the safest thing to do is to get on God’s side. Nebuchadnezzar did not come to the conclusion until after he had received the message from God. Daniel urged him to repent, but he went back to his old ways. Do not allow pride to get in your path as Nebuchadnezzar did. If you w...
