The Power of Music

1087) Music has always been important to me, so much so that I use a lot of it at school. Every week in my language arts classroom, I pick out 4 songs in a wide range of genres. The students listen to them while following along with the lyrics and we discuss them afterwards. This

Opportunities or Overextending?

1086) Some of the most precious gifts I have received were from people who made themselves available to me for various things. I have been given listening ears, encouraging words, professional advice (in direct reference to my involvement in the arts and in teaching), music lessons, and just plain fun (and these are only some

Secrets Can Be Heavy

1085) Secrets in childhood many times involved plans you made, feelings you had or surprises for loved-ones but as you grew older, secrets took on a more sinister mantle. I’ve read before, “those who hide nothing have nothing to hide,” and I think this makes sense. Do I think we ought to air all our

What Does Light Produce? Truth.

1084) Have you noticed the definition of truth has evolved significantly from meaning, what is “accurate; a reality” to “a fact that is accepted as true.” If you make a stand on “truth,” you often get accused of not being tolerant. The problem with this is fundamental; two opposing facts cannot both be true. A

What Does Light Produce? Righteousness.

1083) The local courts have assigned me jury duty four times; two of which I was chosen for the panel to consider two separate crimes. One of them involved a man who was arrested for attempted kidnapping. He said that since the gun he had on the seat was a toy one; he was not

What Does Light Produce? Goodness.

1082) Are people naturally good? We hear and see many amazing things people do or have done for others; especially for strangers and I think this is important to note them. However, the Biblical answer to this question is, no, people are not naturally good but can do good things. Saying people are not basically

Afraid of the Dark?

1081) Darkness, on many levels, is a scary place to be. Sometimes it’s somewhere in the absence of light; you can “see” things that are not necessarily there. At other times, being in a dark place can be an emotional experience; nothing feels good and depression fills your being. Spiritually, darkness represents the lack of

Who’s Your Partner? Thanksgiving?

1080) Some years, in my language arts classroom, I assign a poetry anthology. At first, the kids scoff at the idea, but when they see different ways to express their thoughts, they usually pick up the ball and start rolling. One poem I assign is called a circle poem. They start with one word, then

Who’s Your Partner? Coarseness

1079) My students just amaze me in so many ways. The things they’ll say, write, or do, good and bad, will often blow my mind. Sometimes they are a harsh reminder that I am no longer young! Sigh. A good example of this is when we occasionally play limbo. When I watch kids literally look

Who’s Your Partner? Foolish Talk?

1078) For a few years, I had my 6th grade write, produce, create, record and perform a puppet production. This event was a big deal because we worked all year on it. When we would begin the project, I always suggested that we take a fairy tale or fable and rewrite it and one year
