BIBLE/VIRTUES: Our classroom virtue this month is humility. First, humility is considered to be one of the primary educational virtues, because without it, we cannot be open to learning. More importantly, God comands us to humble ourselves in his sight and to be "completely humble and gentle." He asks us not to think of ourselves more highly than we ought, but rather to "think of oursleves with sober judgment." He says that in humility, we should honor others above ourselves. The schoolwide virtue for the month of February is compassion, which helps us to focus on the needs of others. February, a month when we celebrate love, is a good time to practice both of these virtues.

Psalm 139:1-18
For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.
1 You have searched me, LORD, and you know me.
2 You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.
4 Before a word is on my tongue you, LORD, know it completely.
5 You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
7 Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?
8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,”
12 even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.
13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand—
when I awake, I am still with you.
