Every story has beauty
“Oh Lord, It is said you created people because you love stories. Be with me as I live out my story” (Ted Loder) This prayer was shared by Dr. Bootsma at new staff orientation and resonated with me. After spending the last 10 years starting a family, a church and a business, my story has …

Becoming A Bright Light
I and my family have been associated with Lynden Christian Schools for the past 75 years both as a student and teacher and I can truly say it has shaped my life. Often, I am asked whether I would have done something different rather than be a teacher at Lynden Christian and I emphatically say, …
