The gas in my (Walter’s) eye lasted for 11.5 weeks which made teaching difficult and driving impossible, but it kept getting smaller and smaller as the doctor predicted. It is now completely gone and my vision is back to normal and I can do everything again–Cheryl is thankful that […]

Walter’s Eye Update

Thank you all for your prayers for us. Walter’s doctor has been pleased with the healing of his eye and has lifted all restrictions on his health. But he does not know if Walter’s vision will be as clear. When the retina detaches, some of the cells can die. If a large percentage of them […]

Renew, Revive, Refresh

God strengthened us for the task, and we all grew in the process, but most importantly, God was glorified. Our school-wide theme was “Renew, Revive, Refresh,” and we saw God do that in all of us. […]

Thankful for a Great End

Thankful for a Great End

We are so thankful that Faith Academy (FA) was allowed to have face-to-face classes in February, and that there was no spike in COVID numbers, allowing us to continue to the end of school. COVID numbers dropped so our Alert Level dropped to 1, which has the lowest restrictions. At that level, things opened even […]
