At this time of year, the changes are noticeable. Darkness increasingly overtakes light. Once-green leaves—now gold, rust and brown— fall from trees. Birds migrate. At night, the air chills. Although this change may seem a “destructive” end to summer, it also speaks a hidden message—one of stability and God’s love.

In the Old Testament, God sent a universal Flood upon the world due to mankind’s sinfulness. It was God’s act of judgment upon sinners after graciously permitting them 120 years to repent. At the same time, it was an act of grace to protect Seth’s believing descendents, keeping the promise of the Savior alive.

In the Flood’s 375 days, the world utterly changed. All who rejected God in sinful unbelief were gone. The earth’s surface was drastically altered. Animal life and vegetation were affected.

When the Flood fully receded, God permitted Noah and the others in the ark to reenter the world. Noah “built an altar to the Lord and…sacrificed burnt offerings on it” (Genesis 8:20). A burnt offering was an act of total devotion: the fire consumed the sacrifice as a sign of absolute commitment to God. Moses notes that “the Lord smelled the pleasing aroma” (v. 21), a figurative expression indicating God’s delight.

Following God’s promise never again to send another universal flood, he said, “As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease” (v. 22). At first, these words may seem out of place. However, they demonstrate God’s resolve to restore order to a flood-ravaged world. Standard time units—seedtime and harvest, day and night, and even seasons—were reestablished and will remain in place until God chooses to — see Principal’s Pen, inside

student news and notes Student-athletes reach out with “Dig Pink” volleyball event event hits home in many ways for many people The Lakeside volleyball team had a successful 2012 season, beating most of its opponents and competing with all. On the evening of October 9, 2012, however, the players and their families took that success to another level, as they hosted a third year of “Dig Pink,” a national fund-raising program for breast cancer awareness created by the SideOut Foundation.

That Dig Pink match night featured the volleyball teams, fans, and even officials decked out in pink apparel and accessories.

In addition to “team pink” activities, the night featured several other notable happenings, including a recognition of this year’s team seniors, performance of the National Anthem by students Courtney Dorn and Moriah Hackbarth and a routine in pink by the Lakeside Dance team.

Fans were appreciative. Lisa Vanden Heuvel, who stood with the team as a guest of honor in recognition of her cancer survivorship, said “Amazing night! Thanks to the Lakeside Volleyball teams for filling me up. To God be the Glory! I am honored to be a small part of your Dig Pink Event.” The evening raised ^ Lakeside mom and cancer survivor Lisa Vanden Heuvel poses with the Lakeside varsity volleyball over $1,700.00 for the Side-Out team on Dig Pink night on October 9, 2012.

Principal’s Pen, continued end time. The loving, omnipotent God who created the world and everything in it by his almighty Word first showed love for sinners by promising a Savior following the fall into sin. Now, he reestablished order in a refashioned world for mankind to live and prosper.

Our God never ceases to amaze us with his grace and mercy, “providing…all [that we] need to keep [our] body and life” (Explanation to the First Article).

Perhaps you never saw God’s faithfulness in the change of seasons; yet, among the sights, smells, and feel of each new season is God’s assurance of his deep and abiding love for mankind.

new face in the kitchen ^ Outgoing Lakeside Food Service Director After eight years of faithful service to Sue Filter (left) welcomes incoming Director Lakeside families through arguably the Vicki Sukow. Glad to have you, Mrs. Sukow! most important component to effective student learning—satisfied bellies—Sue Filter is leaving our kitchen. And while Sue’s irreplaceable personality will be missed in the lunchroom, we heartily welcome her replacement as the leader on Lakeside’s food service team: Mrs. Vicki Sukow. She is the former Food Service Director for the Johnson Creek School District, where she daily served over 600 students in K–12. She served in that role for the past 21 years.

Mrs. Sukow lives in Johnson Creek with her husband, Michael, and attends Immanuel, Farmington. She has two grown children: daughter Alyssa is a senior in the Radiology program at Concordia University, and 23 year-old son Kory is newly wed to Roxanne.

Husband Mike is a firefighter/EMT with the North Shore FD. In her spare time, Vicki enjoys cooking (especially baking pies), reading (anything) and walking (all over!).

When asked about her first thoughts of working at Lakeside, Mrs. Sukow says she looks forward to the atmosphere at Lakeside. (Junior) “Meriel Christian is my goddaughter, and whenever I have attended events, I am always impressed by the politeness and sportsmanship of the students—toward adults and each other,” she says.

We are confident she will continue to be presented with God-pleasing attitudes and behavior as she acclimates to the Lakeside kitchen. Be sure to welcome Mrs. Sukow when you get a chance!
