My favorite Scripture passage is Isaiah 40:31:  "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.  They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."  It is a joy for me to help God's covenant children at PCGS to "soar" in their academic and social skills and become ALL that God intends them to be.
