Today I am filling in for the Principal at the school because he is away at a meeting. It just
so happens that the Superintendent is also gone so if a difficult decision arises that
must be made quickly, it falls on me. Several people have already asked me if
I am the “man in charge”, to which I find some way to say yes without it sounding
like I am taking undue joy in being in that position. It is an unusual situation
and it has to be handled more delicately than it would seem on the surface.
Life continually hands us situations in which we must react and the decisions
as to how we react are often quite complicated. The reason for this is that the
effects of those decisions and also the way we seem to approach those decisions
will directly effect how people feel about us and in some cases, our future in
that particular job or life setting. It is in these times that I find that the rule of “Doing
unto others….” Is still the very best rule to follow. The Christian rules
we were given are more than just good, they are ingenious.
