Dean P. Demos

Trinity Christian School begins another year in a few days. As I walked through the door of a preplanning teacher’s meeting the other day, one of our art teachers blurted out, “Mr. Demos, you’ve got HAIR.”

Yes, my hair is back and growing. It’s fuzzy and curly, but who cares?

I have returned to full duties at the school and have enough energy to last the entire day. It’s amazing how God allows our bodies to bounce back after traumatically depleting health procedures. Since I’m a veteran of three joint replacements and the transplant, I am becoming accustomed to the process.

Recovery is a marvelous part of God’s plan. He has a recovery of some sort available for you. Trust Him and it will come. He loves you.

So declared Jesus (Luke 22:31) after revealing to Simon Peter that Satan wanted to deter him.  Paul the Apostle personally prayed for the members of the Colossian church on a continual basis. (Col. 1:3)

As Christian leaders, we are given the ultimate example by Jesus and Paul to spiritually protect the lives of our subordinates through prayer. Let’s get on with it.

Lord, I lift in prayer those I love, those I teach, and those for whom I am responsible. Protect and prosper them as only You can.  It’s always in Your Name I pray.

To my dpdemos.org readers, this is a sample of a devotional I will be posting daily at http://www.tcsdevos.org to be used by staff and families of Trinity Christian School. Please join us.
