If children live with hostility, they learn to be angry and fight.
If children live with ridicule, they learn to be shy and withdrawn.
If children live with shame, they learn to feel guilty.

God, the manager
“I believe God is managing affairs and that He doesn’t need any advice from me. With God in charge, I believe everything will work out for the best in the end. So what is there to worry about?”
– Henry Ford
Big problems, BIG GOD
“Instead of saying ‘God, look how big my problem is,’ we should be saying ‘problem, look how big my God is.'”

“Just P.U.S.H.”
When everything seems to go wrong, just push.
When the job gets you down, just push.
When people don’t react the way you think they should, just push.
When your money looks funny and the bills are due, just push.
When you want to curse them out for whatever the reason, just push.
When you ask the question, when is my ship coming in? (as I often do), just push.
When people just don’t understand you, just push.
Not to continue on and on…let me tell you what PUSH stands for.

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!!
There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer, no disease that enough love will not heal, no door that enough love will not open; no gulf that enough love will not bridge; no wall that enough love will not throw down; no sin that enough love will not redeem. It makes no difference how deeply seated may be the trouble, how hopeless the outlook, how muddled the tangle, how great the mistake. A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all. If only you could love enough you would be the happiest and most powerful being in the world.
“What’s in a name?”
Alexander the Great, one of the greatest military generals who ever lived, conquered almost the entire known world with his vast army. One night during a campaign, he couldn’t sleep and left his tent to walk around the campgrounds. As he was walking he came across a soldier asleep on guard duty – a serious offense. The penalty for falling asleep on guard duty was, in some cases, instant death; the commanding officer sometimes poured kerosene on the sleeping soldier and lit it. The soldier began to wake up as Alexander the Great approached him. Recognizing who was standing in front of him, the young man feared for his life. “Do you know what the penalty is for falling asleep on guard duty?” Alexander the Great asked the soldier.

“Don’t Let ’em Get You Down”
- People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; forgive them anyway.
- If you are kind, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anyway.
- If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; succeed anyway.
- If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; be honest and frank anyway.
- What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; build anyway.
- If you find serenity and happiness, there may be jealousy; be happy anyway.
- The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; do good anyway.
- Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; give the world the best you’ve got anyway.
- You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.

DCPS Projects – 1999
With the schools all wired and connected, it is time to take the district to the next level in wide-area networking. On January 21, 1999, we demonstrated a very rudimentary example of one of the capabilities of our high-speed fiber based wide-area network, a video conference. The equipment we are using to create the videoconference existed in the district before we had wide area fiber connections at any of the schools. We used 2 233mhz computers with video capture cards that were previously used to create the slide shows that ran on Channel 54 for 9 months. These computers didn’t have any of the special video or audio compression cards normally used to send video over a network. The equipment used to “light up” the fiber for this pilot project was all purchased this year from money set aside for wide area network maintenance and upgrades.

DCPS Projects – 1994
The Daviess County Public Schools is currently involved in several projects concerning technology. We are wiring all schools for voice and data, we are piloting some wide area connections between schools and administrative offices and we are increasing the number of computers available to our students and faculty.
We have also started a program to involve students in the implementation and maintenance of technology in the schools, the Student Technology Leadership Program (STLP). Currently we have one student in the program, Andy Beal, a graduate at DCHS. Andy is involved with almost all as
