On Hold

1177)  Kids are too overscheduled these days. If it’s not some athletic commitments, it’s schoolwork. If there’s an evening free, they will go over to friends’ houses and play video games for hours. There are always places to go and, for many, family meals together are non-existent. Everyone is so busy these days. Because of

Life is Hard

1176) When I was younger, there was little that stopped me. In high school, I could run all the basketball drills for hours without it phasing me too much. When I first entered the workforce, I could spend hours in the evening, getting ready for the next day in the classroom. I could also fly

Say What?

1175) There are old sayings out there that many of us have heard throughout our lifetime. Some of them include sage advice, but there are others we have just accepted but either aren’t true or contradict what we know to be true. For example, there’s a quote that is not found in the Bible but

The Things We Do for Love

1174)  Love is a priceless thing and often, people will do anything to get it–the “it” they think love is. Some will try to earn it. Some will lie to impress. Some will compromise their values. Some will be somebody they are not. Some will give and give and give, hoping to receive. Some will

The Weakness of Perception

1173) As humans, what we perceive is reality to us. If we think we know what someone else is up to, it’s probably a conclusion we’ve drawn based upon facts we assume are in place. The problem with perception is, it’s often based upon our view of the world, that is based upon our experiences.

Fact Checking

1172) There is so much in the news these days that is disheartening. So much violence, anger, distrust, war, and arguments fill our news feeds. Yet, there is at least one thing I think is an improvement in the news and that is fact checking. If a journalist is ethical and interested in reporting the

Advocate

1171)  At the beginning of each school year, I inform my students I am not there to be their friend. After this statement, I pause and watch for their responses. Shortly after this, I continue by telling them that though I will not be their friend: I will be their advocate. What is an advocate?

What Are You?

1170)  Are you trustworthy? Do people entrust you with things or people they value? Are you dependable? If you are asked to do something and you commit to it, do you follow-through and do it? Are you nourishing yourself? Do you eat, read, think, and do things that build you up? Are you confident? Do

Degree Choices

1169)  In my language arts classroom, we talk a lot about word choice and that many adjectives are “degree” words. The choice of the word should reflect the degree of the description. For example. There are differences between pleasant, pretty and beautiful. Each of these words illustrate the degree of how something appears. Another example

Hidden Treasures

1168) When I was growing up, whenever my mom went grocery shopping, we all had to find out what brand of cereal she bought and what kind of treasure was hidden inside the box. This was back when the object of interest was found within the plastic lining, so when we dug for the treasure,
