The Lone Wolf Myth

1017) Here in Maine it is often said that there are only three seasons: winter, summer and mud season. If you live anywhere with snow and ice that accumulate during the winter, when these thaw, the ground becomes mushy and mud covers anything that travels through it. Therefore, my classroom floor is often coated with

Bickering is Tiresome

1016) Bickering is tiresome. Ask any parent or teacher; it’s my bet that they will agree. Imagine a classroom of middle school students (some of you see this every day) and you will be reminded of how bickering makes life stressful. No one benefits from bickering. It’s like chewing gum and hoping to fill an

I Came Trembling

1015) Courage is a difficult thing to produce. There was a time in my life that I mistakenly thought courage was something that appeared when difficult things happened. Instead, courage is a choice. It says that despite how I feel; despite the circumstances; despite how others see me, I do what needs to be done.

We Stand?

1014) Every year my 6th grade classes read a non-fiction account of the Shackleton Expedition in 1914 and even though I have read it more than a dozen times, I’m still in awe that the 28 men who were stranded on ice at the South Pole for two years came out alive. They survived sub-zero

Desensitizing

1013) I have had an interest in psychology and how the mind works for many years. I love to read about how incredibly complicated our brains are and how it reacts to things. In recent years, I have read two books about how trauma and then how music affects the brain and its functions and

Long Division

1012) I did not enjoy math when I was a student. I didn’t understand many of the concepts, and I was an adult before I realized that in algebra, solving for “x” had to do with an unknown factor that was needed. For example, if I have 20 board feet of lumber and I know

Reminders

1011) The older I get, the more grateful I am to receive reminders. These may come from the doctor’s office, at work or by the state government reminding me that I need to renew my driver’s license. Just as these reminders are helpful, God instructs us in Romans 15:14-15 to remind others of the things

Acceptance

1010) One difficulty I regularly see among my students is their desire for acceptance and the pain they endure when they don’t receive it. Because this need is so great, I have seen them do anything they can to fit in. What they wear, say or do is evidence of this need. I have seen

Free. What’s the Catch?

1009) The internet can be a dangerous thing, so I think it’s appropriate to call it The Wild, Wild Web. I have experienced dangers many times. For example, I have received emails from my banking/credit card institutions that look authentic, but they are not. I have had “Ransomware” messages informing me that the writer “knows”

Don’t Skip the Stories

1008) One of my gifts is storytelling. I believe I inherited this from my grandfather. I can “set the scene”, build suspense and keep others engaged in it. This comes in handy as a Bible and English teacher. My students often ask me to tell them one of my stories. I imagine some of them
