Yesterday, in all five of my classes, we discussed the meaning of Henrews 11:1, the most commonly used Scriptural definition of faith:
''Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.''
I had each student write five definitions of faith from their lives, starting with the words, ''I am certain that...'' For the next several days, I will share some of these thoughts, always by permission. Boys are in blue, girls are in purple.
"I am certain that I am thought about each second of the day."
Darius
"I am certain I can change peoples' lives."
Gerran
"I am certain that Emily Kefer will always be my best friend."

"I am certain that Kaitlyn Vickery will always be my best friend."

"I am certain that I will always protect my family."
William
"I am certain that I am gifted."
Hamilton
" I am certain I will graduate high school and college."

"I am certain that I will meet the right girl one day."

I am certain that if it would have been up to Kylie and Marisa, our son's name would have been Coach Hawley Sutton, rather than Braden Desmond Sutton.
