One of the goals of LCS is to help our students develop a sense of service toward others.  Service to others falls right into this year’s theme of stewardship, respect, and responsibility and one of our seniors, Hunter Martin, recently demonstrated his mastery of that target.  Bob Chapman, father of Katherine, our assistant principal was diagnosed with a severe health condition a couple of weeks ago. Mr. Chapman has been one of the most hard working LCS volunteers for many years.  In addition to his work ethic he has been known for his gentle spirit toward students and families at the school. When Hunter heard about Bob’s condition he took it upon himself to go to Bob’s house to help him with a project, an LCS cone cart.  After Hunter had completed his classes for the day he and his father drove out to Bob’s house, drove Bob to a welder for the completion of the cart, and then spent time with Bob back at his house. It’s the kind of thing we might expect of adults who understood the importance of supporting others by just spending time with them.  It reminds me so much of the story of Jesus when he visited Mary and Martha's house. Jesus commends Mary because she chose to spend her time with him rather than worry about preparations for a meal or cleaning her house. Hunter has learned and demonstrated what Mary knew. Our time is special to God when we are willing to use it to help others, even when it’s merely being with them as company.  Thank you, Hunter.
