Havard Law Offering Tution Break in Exchange for Public Service
There is a growing need for lawyers who will serve the public interest. The debt incurred during law school prevents some students in serving the public from taking low paying government or non-profit jobs. Also, many of those who take jobs as assistant DA’s often quit after a few years in search of better paying jobs to pay off debt. Harvard Law school has developed a program to help encourage students to consider public service. In a new program students who agree to spend five years in public service will be eligible for 3rd year tuition waivers. Prior to the third year students must demonstrate an interest in public service through either clinical programs or service projects. Also, Harvard already has a system in place to track students after graduation as a part of existing tuition forgiveness programs.

Spring Break Day 2
Today Nate had class so Kat, Chief & I went headed to Lakeland to see a spring training game.
The Detroit Tigers spring training is in Lakeland. Joker Marchant Stadium (Tiger Town) is a pretty nice facility. It is also home to the The Flying Tigers, part of the Detroit’s club system.
We picked up dinner on our way back home. After dinner the kids decided to go swimming. I decided it was too, cold since the pool isn’t heated. It was cold but the kids did swim for a little bit.
Being the swimmer Kat was the first to try the water. It seems that she had competed in some pretty cold pools before. It took Chief a little longer to get into the pool.
Holy Week Reflection: Tuesday
For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit. I Peter 3:18 (NKJV)
The Wonderful Cross
By J. D. Walt, Isaac Watts, Jesse Reeves, Chris Tomlin
Performed by Michael W. SmithWhen I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.
Oh the wonderful Cross, oh the wonderful Cross
Bids me come and die and find that I may truly live
Oh the wonderful Cross, oh the wonderful Cross
All who gather here by grace draw near
And bless Your name
See from His head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down:
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
Oh the wonderful Cross, oh the wonderful Cross
Bids me come and die and find that I may truly live
Oh the wonderful Cross, oh the wonderful Cross
All who gather here by grace draw near
And bless Your name
Were the whole realm of Nature mine,
That were an offering far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Oh the wonderful Cross, oh the wonderful Cross
Bids me come and die and find that I may truly live
Oh the wonderful Cross, oh the wonderful Cross
All who gather here by grace draw near
And bless Your name
