You Go First

1906) If you have not read about the Shackleton Expedition, you are truly missing out. My students and I read Shipwreck at the Bottom of the World by Jennifer Armstrong every year and, even though I have read it many times, I am still in awe of the leadership of Sir Earnest Shackleton and how

Liars

1905) If you have been around children, your own or “borrowed,” you learn to read body language to discern if they are telling you the truth. If they aren’t, they often will not look you in the eye. There’s a pause in their answer (or no pause at all). They come up with a reply

Quiet Giving

1904) A typical school day can hold many things. There is learning, at least, I hope, laughter, understanding, socializing, spontaneity and delight. There are also tears. A few weeks back, one of my young scholars was out in the hall crying. I went to her and asked her what was wrong. She said,” I’m just

Price Tags

1903) As Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays are approaching, I’m even more mindful of how much things cost. I remember a month or so ago; I was going to buy a piece of corned beef, to make my husband a New England boiled dinner and the cheapest cut was $38.00. I didn’t buy one. The price

Light

1902) Light at this time of the year is limited in Maine. It gets dark early and the morning light is reluctant to shine. This gets me thinking about what light does for me. It allows me to see where I’m going (or what pitfalls to avoid). Light allows me to drive through snow and

The Kingdom

1901) Because I had the privilege of being raised in the church, went to a Christian school, graduated from a Bible college and taught public school Bible for just shy of 20 years, I’m very acquainted with many Bible verses. This comes in handy so many times in my day to-day but there is a

A Lighted Pathway

1900) Since we’ve moved into winter here in Maine, it’s dark when I leave for work and in another month, it will be dark as I drive home. Because of this, it’s always good to have outdoor lights to help navigate snow and, especially, icy steps. These lights help keep me from harm. So, does

The Measure of Change

1899) For better or for worse, I am often reflecting on whether I am progressing wholly into the person I want to become. I easily recognize the times when I act or react in ways I do not wish and, no matter how many things I do right in a day, the wrong, even if

A Time to Laugh

1898) A few years ago, I met with a special group of people to sing and learn about singing for 2 ½ hours every week. We were a group who loved music and the challenge was to become better. It was also a time to laugh.   As we were organizing our group, it became

The Blessing of Giving

1897) Anyone who has given to someone something that cannot be reciprocated knows the content of Acts 20:35. Here we are told we will receive a better blessing by giving than in receiving. Because of this, Matthew 6:1is important. Here, Jesus tells us that gifts given for the dual purpose of benefiting others and making
