Math Homework Check-list/Expectations

In order for a homework check to be complete and for you to receive your mark (out of 1) make sure you do the following:

• Have your name, date and grade on your page (in the top right hand corner)
• Have the title of the lesson (example 1.1 Divisibility by 10, 5, 2)
• Under the title write out the goal for the lesson (example: Goal-Create and use divisibility rules to determine if 10, 5, or 2 is a factor of a number)
• Add any definitions to your "Chapter 1 Glossary"
  
• Write the page number
• Write the number and/or letter of the question
• Answer the all the questions in pencil (make sure you show your work)
• Correct your work in a different color pen
• Put the total # correct/total # of questions (make a note to yourself if there is a question you need help with)

I set these guidelines for your benefit. I hope this will help you organize your notebook and remind you of what you are supposed to be learning.

Is "good enough" good enough?

Good Enough Is Neither (by Mike Smith)

All too often 'good enough' is where the weak hearts stop.
It keeps the very best in each from coming to the top.
'Enough' implies just gettin' by and 'good' falls short of best.
So 'good enough' is average stuff and seldom meets the test.
The ones who 'shine' and seem to find success are those who dare
To charge right past old 'good enough' and show the world they care.
Never being satisfied with just an average plan,
They work and think and push themselves to do the best they can.
Remember that the choice is yours and you alone choose either,
But those who 'shine' are those who know that 'good enough' is neither


I think we can apply this concept to our relationship with Christ. Do you follow a mental checklist of things you need to do to get by and leave it at that…okay, I’ve had quiet times/devotions 4 out of 7 days this week…I’ve volunteered on this day…I went to church on Sunday...etc…I’m good to go, I’ve done what I need to do as a Christian. Have you trusted God with all areas of your life, or just the portions you want to? Do you truly worship God for all He is, or do you sing some songs on Sunday’s or in chapel or class because everyone else is?

I know there are definitely times in my life when I just go for the “good enough” in many areas of life, including my walk with the Lord. In Revelation 3, the Church in Laodicea is warned against being just “good enough”…15I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.
I challenge you to take a look at your own life, are you a “good enough”, lukewarm Christian, or do you strive to be connected in your relationship with Christ?
