Needy

2024) Teaching my young scholars there is a difference between wants and needs is difficult. Why? Because it’s difficult for adults to distinguish too. What I think I need may not really be classified as a need in God’s eyes.   Having written these sentences, my mind goes immediately to a God who sits up

Sing!

2023) Music has always been important to me. I love to sing and have even had the opportunity and privilege of having weekly voice lessons for a year from a teacher who trains classical voices around the world.   Music expresses thoughts and emotions on an entirely different level. It can go straight to the

A Legacy

2022) I have always liked using object lessons in my classroom. It gives my young scholars a visual that, hopefully, will connect their minds to concepts that are challenging.   As a writer, I know objects aren’t the only way to connect people to nebulous topics. Stories can do the same thing. These stories can

Finish not Win

2021) I am competitive, and this can be a good thing. It means I work hard in order to come out near or at the top. Whoever I represent (including myself) will benefit from my hard work.   BUT, competitiveness can be a weakness. Sometimes it makes me forget what is truly important and I

I’m Thinking

2020) I have learned so much from being a teacher for almost 40 years. For example, I’ve learned that a good lesson plan is the best classroom management tool. I’ve realized I must change my approach to a class of kids who no longer think, live and exist in a world I started out in.

Do Unto Others

2019) I haven’t lived in the South for over 20 years. Even though I’ve been away for more than two decades, I’m fairly certain most people would be familiar with the Golden Rule. Here in New England, I’m not sure how many, especially the young, could quote it.   The Golden Rule is helpful in

Images

2018) Mirrors have changed through time. At one point, people gazed into polished metal to see a reflection of themselves. I smile when I think of what they saw compared to what our mirrors today reveal. But even our mirrors are limiting.   Our reflection in the mirror doesn’t show us everything. For one reason,

Time is Limited

2017) Time changes as we grow from childhood to adults. Well… does it really change, or is it our perception of time that changes?   As a child, a school year to me was endless as was Christmas Eve, lying in bed, desperately wanting to go to sleep so Christmas morning would arrive.   When

Aftertaste

2016) I remember someone telling me about the history of a church I was attending. They had worked there for several years and were leaving for another ministry. This person told my husband and me this church formed out of a caustic break from another one. There were harsh words and bitterness shared in the

Giving that Matters

2015) There are times when my young scholars get into scuffles and as I help guide them through making things right with each other, I will ask one or both to apologize. Sometimes these apologies are forceful and curt and some may say this is a wasted requirement. I don’t think so because I’m teaching
