Open Doors

1617) As a teacher of young scholars, I can hear myself saying regularly, Be kind. This is also a theme for our school. As adults, we know kindness is a valuable gift we can give others, and I am reminded in Proverbs 11:17 that it is also a gift to ourselves. When we are kind

Face to Face

1616) One struggle I have in my faith is the fact that when I’m trying to carry on a conversation with God (prayer), I cannot look at his face. I learn a lot from looking at the face of the person with whom I am speaking. I also can hear their words in return. This

One Day

1615) Growing up, I’d think about how wonderful being an adult will be. I get to make the decisions. I get to go anywhere I want, at anytime I want. You get the idea. But, as all of you adults know, when I finally got there, I realized being an adult had many responsibilities I

Against the Grain

1614) There are often times in my classroom when a phrase or idiom I’ve used all of my life will come up in reading or discussion. I’ve found that my young scholars do not know them. One example is to say something is going against the grain. Of course, we know this means whatever we’re

Pleasing People

1613) How important is it for you to have a peaceful environment around you? On a scale of 1-10, I’d put it at a 10. I do not enjoy living among strife and conflict, and yet, this can be way out of balance if I care too much about pleasing people. For example, after I

A Beacon within Conflict

1612) I admit it, I am terrified of conflict. When I taught high school, if there was a fight among some students, it unnerved me for hours. I dislike conflict and will do almost anything to avoid it. Sometimes this is good as I might not be able to do anything positive in the situation,

Speak Up

1611) As a teacher, I regularly see incredible things kids do. I’ve seen kindness, empathy, and unselfishness. I always smile when I see kids doing these things. There is something, however, I observe that disturbs me. When I see a student (or group of students) shun another, I immediately act. I don’t only take action

Self-acceptance Considered

1610) Someone said to me once, Too much of anything can be bad. In my literal mind, I refuted this statement: How can too much of God be a bad thing? I shake my head at the black and white only mentality I had in my youth. This wasn’t the only lopsided mentality I had

Curse Words

1624) I can remember in high school reading the book of Job and something Job’s wife said in Job 2:9-10 caught my attention. Job is going through all the horrible things Satan was allowed to do to him and in the midst of his suffering, his wife says, “Well, just curse God and die.” When

Here’s To the Underdog

1608) I’ve always had a heart for the underdog. In my teaching career spanning 38 years (so far), the kids who are the underdogs pull at my heart. I’m sure there are many reasons for this, but I guess it mostly comes down to the fact that I know what this feels like. Underdogs often
