forgiveness that Jesus expects of us!
What’s the worst that could
happen if we try and fail to live like
this? What’s the worst that could
happen if we lose it all after risking
it all? The worst is knowing we have
received God’s amazing grace! Will
we let God be God this week? Will
we take some risks and invest our
talents in something that promises to
bear fruit? And even if it doesn’t,
will we let God be God in our lives?
Will we trust in God’s amazing
grace to cover our losses?
Dr. Robert G. Tuttle, Jr. in his
book Can We Talk? Sharing Your
Faith in a Pre-Christian World tells
this story about a young girl who
had visions of Jesus during the latter
part of the Middle Ages. The
Inquisition was all about during this
period and decidedly intolerant of
such experiences: “They sought to
intimidate her and would summon
her before their tribunals. On one
such occasion the Chief Inquisitor
challenged her while sneering, ‘The
next time you see Jesus ask him
what sins I confessed at my last
confessional’ The following week
she was summoned once again.
Laughing, the Inquisitor asked,
‘Well, did you see Jesus?’
Remarkably unafraid, she replied
simply, ‘Yes.’ Suddenly the entire
assembly was attentive as the
Inquisitor continued, ‘And what sins
did I confess?’ The little girl smiled,
Jesus said, ‘Tell him, I forgot.’”
Precisely, we can be realistic in
response, thus dodge the question,
or be resourceful and inspired as
was the little girl! What will it be for
you and I as we meet the next
generation before us in our faith and
in our communities?
A change in accounting policy has
turned the Avon Maitland District
School Board’s 2010 accumulatedsurplus of $68 million into anaccumulated deficit of $38 million.Notes included with a draft of the
board’s consolidated financial
statements at the board’s Nov. 8meeting explained that severalaccounting changes have resulted ina revised amount for the board’s
original August 2010 accumulated
surplus of $68,661,146.
After a $106,890,610 transfer to
deferred capital contributions, the
revised figure for August 2010 is an
accumulated deficit of $38,229,
464.
Cheri Carter, financial services
administrator, explained that the
amount transferred was a result of
Public Sector AccountingBoard (PSAB) policy and Ministryof Education direction.“This change will be reflective of
every board in the province,” she
said. The Huron-Perth Catholic
District School Board (HPCDSB)
heard a similar explanation at their
October meeting when
Superintendent of Business and
Treasurer Gerry Thuss described
that board’s $447,930 deficit as
an “accounting deficit”, which
included costs such as
future employee benefits and sickleave.The Avon Maitland DistrictSchool Board had an annual surplus
of $303,603 for the year ending Aug.
31, 2011. Trustees passed a motion
to accept the presented draft
Consolidated Financial Statements
for the period of Sept. 1, 2010 to
Aug. 31, 2011.
The statements were audited by
accounting firm KPMG and are
available for viewing
