OBJECTIVE

The objective of BOSA Newsletter is to inform and educate the people in Beersheba Primary School Community and all Beersheba Primary School Alumni in Jamaica and the Diaspora by means of clean and wholesome news. In doing so, the Newsletter will continue to highlight and celebrate their achievements, mourn their losses, defend their rights and articulate their needs. With meticulous calculated professional news reporting, the Newsletter will ceaselessly expose the entrenched culture of silence, secrecy, non-response and pussy-footing that has characterized the unscrupulous tyrannical oligarchy rule that is tarnished with nepotism that is designed to frustrate Beersheba Old Students Association (BOSA) as it continues to work assiduously as the safety net and mentor for voiceless and vulnerable students who reside in the impoverished peasant farming Beersheba Primary School Community from falling through the cracks cognizant of the fact, that had it not been for intervention of the Association, these students would be left alone to fend for themselves contrary to the vision of James “Dick” Richards, (1872-1965), Beersheba Primary School Alumnus, Soldier, Self-made Businessman, Philanthropist and Icon.

BOSA SCIENCE AND HEALTH CORNER

Our readers and Beersheba Primary School Alumni are urged to submit articles for publication under the above heading.

GOLDEN THOUGHTS AND NUGGETS

The loveliest day comes when you wake up and find that life still colours your world through people who truly care and never fail or forget to remember you..

God always has something for each of us.

A key to solve each problem we encounter.

A light for each shadow that falls across our path.

A relief for each sorrow or challenge we face,

And a plan for each of our tomorrow.

Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up (Proverbs 12:25)

“A holy life will make the deepest impression. Lighthouses blow no horns, they just shine.”

A young lady sat in a bus. At the next stop, a loud and grumpy old lady came and sat next to her. The old lady squeezed into the seat and bumped her with her numerous bags she carried.

The person sitting on the other side of the young lady got upset, and asked the young lady why she did not speak up and say something.

The young lady responded with a smile. “It is not necessary to be rude or argue over something that is so insignificant; the journey together is so short. Anyway, I’ll get off at the next stop.”

This response from the young lady deserves to be written in golden letters.

“It is not necessary to argue over something that is so insignificant; our journey together is so short.”

If each one of us realize that our time is so short, why obscure and darken it with quarrels, fights, futile arguments, not forgiving one another, discontentment and a fault-finding attitude? All these negative things are a waste of energy.

Did someone break your heart? Be calm, the journey together is so short.

Dis someone betray, bully, cheat or humiliate you? Be calm, forgive, forbear and show mercy, the journey together is short.

Whatever trouble or distress anyone brings us, let us remember that our journey together is so short.

No one knows the duration of this journey. No one knows when his or her stop will be. Our journey together is so short.

Let us cherish friends and family. Let us be respectful, kind, forgiving and forbearing to one another. Let us be filled with gratitude, joy and gladness.

If I have ever hurt you, I ask for your forgiveness and forbearance. If you have ever hurt me, you already have my forgiveness and forbearance.

After all, OUR JOURNEY IS SO SHORT!

Beverley Cain

Who is Beverly Cain-Graham this faithful servant of God? According to what is written by the unknown Psalmist in Psalm 116:16-18, Beverly is one who served God in gratitude for His deliverance, who call on His name, and who honour the words she spoke before Him.

The actions displayed  by Beverly represents deliberate choices to walk with God, accept the freedom He offers, and cultivate a relationship with Him.

As we all reflect on Beverly Cain-Graham labour of love as a faithful, dedicated, loyal and devoted servant of God, let us all meditate on what is written in Micah 6:8 “What does the Lord require of you but to act justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
