Psalm 39:4, "Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is: that I may know how frail I am."

David's prayer in this psalm reminds us of the frailty and brevity of our days on this earth. David's son Solomon came to the sad conclusion that, "All is vanity." Thankfully, he didn't stop there, but realizing, just like his father had, that this temporal life was not all there is, he went on to say, "Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth." That is why Pleasant View Christian Academy exists. Our purpose is to help young people remember their Creator.

The guiding theme for this school year is, "Will What You Do TODAY Matter in Eternity?" Pastor Shiflett has challenged us ever since he came here with the soberness of a quote that gripped him one day. That quote by Dr. Charles Keen was, "I'm not worried about being a failure. I'm worried about being a success at something that is not important to God."

With God's help we will seek to give our young people the best, sharpest tools we can, so that they can serve God and invest their life in something that WILL matter in eternity.
