This school year I accepted a challenge to work with some students whose English skills are much lower than my usual group. It wasn’t what I thought it would be and I find myself being stretched. The class has students from different language backgrounds which poses a challenge all by itself. This is not myContinue reading “Stretched”

Front Seat
One of the most beautiful things about being a teacher is getting front row seats to the lives of your students. So often we get to watch this interesting cycle of life continue. We watch them flourish as they blossom into amazing humans. They then are blessed to pour into someone else and the cycleContinue reading “Front Seat”
In The Ordinary
If you have lived long enough to walk through some of life’s challenges, you may have noticed that the miracle is often in the ordinary. There are no thunderbolts or lightning. The blessing, the answer to prayer comes in the ordinary. The story is told of the Apostle Paul encountering shipwreck while being transported toContinue reading “In The Ordinary”
In My Feelings
It’s midday and I have the day off. I’m lounging on my sofa watching the trees dancing to the beat of the winds and soaking in the rain from the effects of Ms. Idalia. She’s passing by heading somewhere towards the FL gulf coast. What am I feeling right now? How am I feeling rightContinue reading “In My Feelings”
Why Me?
That’s a common question we ask when hit with tough twists and turns in life. Why me? Here’s something to chew on – Why not you? Why not me?

The pandemic had rudely interrupted our plans as a family , so we had to switch somethings around.Continue reading “Catching Up”
Hard to Say Goodbye
This past week part of my high school graduating class came together after 40 years. It was something almost ‘other worldly’. Many of us hadn’t seen nor heard from each other in decades. What amazed me the most was how easy it was to reconnect. Sure we had grown up (somewhat😊), but the child inContinue reading “Hard to Say Goodbye”
Where it All Started
Over 40 years ago, a group of bright-eyed bushy tail kids met at the high school we so lovingly call ‘The One Don’. This week we gathered for our 40 year reunion- a week long celebration. For sure the kid in us came alive again. As we toured our beloved campus, we certainly got nostalgicContinue reading “Where it All Started”
Made For This
As a teenager leaving high school, I was blank. I had no idea what I wanted to do. My pastor suggested that I tried teaching. That was never on my vision board and I thought it funny. I then reasoned with myself; I had nothing to lose by giving it a shot. I would leaveContinue reading “Made For This”
