Challenging Quote

"When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would have not a single bit of talent left and could say, "I used everything you gave me." Erma Bombeck

If you have ever read Erma Bombeck you know she is a great comedienne. I was a bit surprised to see this quote but love it. As a teacher I often feel like I am bashing my head against the wall. It often seems like there are no changes being made in these kids lives. This helps me remember that it is my faithfulness that counts not their responses. I guess the same can be said for parenting too, or anything in life really.

2Co 12:15 And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.

For Vickie

My little sister is a nag! She is tired of the kitchen pictures and nags me about it often saying I need to put something else here. So, since I love her this is for Vickie:

One of my students was asking me what we were going to do the next day. (We are doing achievement tests and he wanted to know which tests would come next. ) I told him it was a matter of national security and if I told him he would have to be beheaded. He said "NO, they don't do that any more all they do is legal injection." I thought that was pretty funny.
