Catholic elementary school principals, speaking out in a major nationwide survey, report faithful commitments alongside acute challenges in the operation of their schools, and they identify financial management, marketing, Catholic identity, enrollment management and long-range planning as their schools’ top five areas of need. The study, completed by the University of Notre Dame’s Alliance for Catholic Education and its Mary Ann Remick Leadership Program, is a rare, comprehensive glimpse of these principals’ views on what they need in order to do their jobs better and how they describe the state of Catholic education today. “It is difficult to read the responses of Catholic school principals in this study and not sense both their commitment to this ministry and the overwhelming responsibilities that are associated with it,” say the authors of “Leadership Speaks: A National Survey of Catholic Primary School Principals.” They paint a picture of many principals as faith-filled individuals confronting unusually challenging expectations, worthy of new forms of support, such as their own national association. The study provides enormous amounts of data describing today’s Catholic school principals and outlining their views, and the authors conclude with four recommendations: 1.) Develop “new models of governance for Catholic elementary schools” that shift the panoply of principal responsibilities “into a more manageable and realistic position description.” 2.) “Develop a program of ongoing professional development and renewal for principals” that addresses their needs, both professional and personal. 3.) Organize a national association of Catholic school principals as a means “to give voice to their leadership concerns at every level and to promote advocacy for Catholic schools at the national level.” 4.) “Convene multiple groups of national and international stakeholders to advance the understanding of Catholic schools as instruments of the new evangelization.”

To have order in anything, especially one's life, balance is key; balance in the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual areas of life. While author Bih Johnson was growing up, she found balance to be a struggle to maintain and went on a personal mission to develop a better version of herself. In her new book, Balance is Order, she uses this self-betterment journey to shape an empowering book about living an abundant life through Jesus Christ. Balance, to Bih, is having a strong and thriving relationship with God through Jesus, as she elaborates through examples from the Bible, her life, and general scenarios to show where balance and order are very important in establishing a stable life. Sharing about her life in Cameroon and how God provided for her family's life over the years, letting her know the need we all have is to have a relationship with the heavenly Father. She can attest, from her own life, that God can use anybody as a vessel for furthering His kingdom in the lives of other believers and being a witness of Him to non-believers. Balance is not as elusive as we all think it might be, as when we put Jesus as the leader within us, all the other areas of our lives will fall into their rightful, healthy places. Bih is first and foremost a servant of God, wife, and a mother. She was born and raised in Cameroon, West Africa, has lived in Europe where she met her husband, and they currently reside in the United States of America with their three children. Bih loves spending time with her family/friends, writing, dancing, cooking, and traveling to different parts of the world. Evangelism is her calling and God has graced her to bridge the gap of understanding the word of God amongst different generations.

Nik Wallenda, "King of the High Wire," doesn't know fear. As a seventh generation of the legendary Wallenda family, he grew up performing, entertaining, and pushing the boundaries of gravity and balance. When Nik was four years old, he watched a video from 1978 of his great grandfather, Karl Wallenda, walking between the towers of the Condado Plaza Hotel in Puerto Rico, stumbling, and falling to his death because of improper rigging. When Nik heard his father quote his great-grandfather-"Life is on the wire, everything else is just waiting"-the words resonated deep within his soul and he vowed to be a hero like Karl Wallenda. Balance is the theme of Nik's life: between his work and family, his faith in God and artistry, his body and soul. It resonates from him when performing and when no one is looking. When walking across Niagara Falls, he prayed aloud the entire time, and to keep his lust for glory and fame in check, Nik returned to the site of his performance the next day and spent three hours cleaning up trash left by the crowd. Nik Wallenda is an entertainer who wants to not only thrill hearts, but to change hearts for Christ. Christ is the balance pole that keeps him from falling.

Timeless is the war for our faith and anchor in Christ to be dislodged. It can happen ever so subtly, even when we don't realize it. Distractions, situations, relationships, and even good things can cause us to lose our center, or in other words, that place that gives us balance. When people lose their balance, they usually fall. It happens even if we don't want it to, and even if we doubt it can. There is a lesson of the science of faith that is at work within the core of every soul. We must continually be "Centered on Majesty" by diligently pursuing Him and living a life that recognizes that Jesus Christ is our source and our stability. "In today's society, it is easy to stay focused on our pain, our victimization, and our troubles. In Centered on Majesty, Susan League lifts our eyes above self to the awesome God who holds our heart in His hands. Take this daily devotional journey with Susan as she leads you through the wanderings of your soul to the place where tears are wiped away and hope is birthed.
