  • Sal’s Dark Night

    In my mind today I am thinking about laughter, loyalty, and love. Students, I have been having a dark night of the soul. It is just everywhere I go or turn I feel sadness and grief. I look at the world and I see all of the brokenness. My heart literally aches in my chest.…

  • Cause and Effect

    In my mind today I am thinking about cause and effect. I remember the days of teaching Language Arts. Oh, how I loved to intertwine all of those academic subjects into one! I was even able to teach history through the language arts. The history teachers loved me. Language arts is the study of literature,…

  • ANXIETY

  • UP

    In my mind today I am thinking about up.  Yes front row I know that that is just a preposition  or a direction but that is exactly what I am thinking about the word up.  I also remember the rule never to end a sentence with a preposition.  I do not want to discuss the…

  • Suck it Up Buttercup!

    They are the ones who . . . bear fruit through perseverance. (Luke 8:15) In my mind today, it’s so full of words and emotions and blogs that are swimming in my head and making me dizzy! (Remember that song “Dizzy” students? If you haven’t,  listen to it. Yes, it’s homework back row!) Let’s look…

  • Death into Life

    In my mind lately, I have been thinking a lot about this life and this world. I don’t have all the answers. Who does? I don’t know how we go each day and continue through sorrow, great times, and mediocre days. The latest book club read was a deep one. It made you analyze everything.…

  • Martha, Jubliees, and Prophets

    It shall be a jubilee for you. (Leviticus 25:10) In my mind today students, I am thinking about Marthas and Marys as well as years of jubilees. I definitely do not want to forget about prophets. As of late I have been quite the Martha. Students, do you know who I’m talking about? You know…
