7 Steps to Safer Schools: A Principal Speaks

Last updated on: December 27, 2012 at 11:42 am By Bill Blankschaen

It’s been 13 days since we first heard of the horrible massacre in Newtown, Connecticut. That’s right, only thirteen days. It feels like a lot longer. For the families and friends of the victims, I can’t begin to process how long those days have felt. I can only continue to pray for their healing. I’ve been reluctant to compile and share my thoughts on the horrific shooting at Sandy Hook in Newtown for two reasons: I’ve been there before. As a... Read more

Christmas Warning: Whatever You Do, Don’t Read This

Last updated on: December 24, 2012 at 7:39 am By Bill Blankschaen

Seriously? Even after I warned you not to read this, you still kept going? I think this might fall into that infamous category: You might be addicted to reading blogs if…. It’s Christmas! Sheesh. And here you are staring at a screen — it may be while seated comfortably ensconced in your ergonomically optimised chair at home while sipping eggnog or you may be squinting to read this on your mobile device while sipping a latte and driving while doing...

To All Those Who Want Safer Schools in Newtown

Last updated on: December 20, 2012 at 2:52 pm By Bill Blankschaen

I get it. Really, I do. We’re repulsed by the utter horror of the tragedy in Newtown. Our hearts ache at the thought of such insane bloodshed. I’ve already shared my own experiences with such issues and my prayer for them as a former principal who still knows and loves so many similar teachers and kids. And I have few little guys of my own. So I get our urge to make schools safer. I understand why we want to do... Read more

Was Jesus Born Away in a Manger at Migdal Eder?

Last updated on: January 13, 2015 at 4:39 am By Bill Blankschaen

I knew the traditional nativity scene had issues. The three wise men who likely weren’t three and didn’t show up until two years later. The star hovering just above the quaint wooden structure that looks more like an English countryside barn than the back end of an inn. The all-too-pristine setting after an impromptu birth. I thought I had heard it all. I even shared a take on The Christmas Message based on the traditional interpretation just a few days ago. I... Read more

A Principal’s Prayer for Sandy Hook, Newtown, and Chardon

Last updated on: December 18, 2012 at 2:39 pm By Bill Blankschaen

It’s taken me a few days to write this. Regular readers know I’m usually not lacking for words. Whether they like them or not is another matter. But this one is different. What happened at Sandy Hook Elementary School hit close to home in more ways than one. I recently completed twelve years of service growing and leading a Christian school of over 400 students. I served as the Principal for many years until stepping away just a few months ago to... Read more

Help! I Need Somebody!

Last updated on: December 18, 2012 at 10:10 am By Bill Blankschaen

It’s not a word I like to use often. Maybe you’re different. It seems some people are. They use it all the time. The dreaded word? Help. Or better yet — Help! I need somebody! The last few weeks brought me to a place where just about all I could do was cry, “Help!” I thought about crying, “Uncle!” then went with help as the more Biblical approach. One reason I had gone dark for two weeks here at Patheos was... Read more
