Little Things
He is God of the little things as well as of the great, and frequently he uses the lesser things of the world to shame the greater. This is one of the most terrifying creeds of Christianity - it makes allowances for the unexpected, the unfortunate, the dispossessed and the disenfranchised. The superiority of the superior is always in doubt. And no little thing passes away, is destroyed, or lacks value; no little child is powerless or diminished before the mighty; no small effort will be insufficient or useless.
There is no work too humble for those who toil at the foundations of the world. The least of tasks and the most menial of occupations are the things which ennoble us all.

A loud resounding "Amen" to that. =)
and yet some of us forget or even seem to disdain that we, as an institution, have a higher mission laid before us by our founder and by God, choosing instead to focus on the bright, shining lie rather than the mundane and unglamorous task of education
