And go to Hollywood? You could totally make it. I have a student that says this to me every day. I teach a drama class and very often will use my own performances to give students an example of how to play a game or learn an acting technique. They’re like, “Wow! When you did Read More
Am I cool? Suppose I’d have to actually be cool to be able to keep it. Heh. Anyhoo… I’ve been trying really hard to stay on high ground lately. My job has been kind of surrounding me with negative people who are all down on the teaching profession and how evil administration and everyone is. Read More
I listened to part of the Dr. Laura show on the ol’ AM station today and she was having guests call in and answer the question, “What is the most loving thing you’ve seen someone else do?” So, I got to thinking about what my answer would be. I thought of things that were awesome…but Read More

I received my first “adult” Bible from Wyoming United Methodist Church in Wyoming, MN after completing my confirmation classes. It didn’t mean a lot to me then, and it just got slapped on the dusty shelf at home. But, years later, after I became a Christian, the book got opened and drawn in and slept Read More
Well, I’ve been thinking for three months to get a list of top five favorite books of the Bible. I’ve gone for a good month and a half consistently agreeing with the ones I’ve chosen. I teetered a bit on if I wanted Isaiah or Ecclesiastes for my number 5 slot, but finally decided on Read More
Because I’ve been so busy with stuff lately (mainly a new semester at school and my National Board stuff), people have been all worried about if I’m doing okay. The fact is…I’m doing super! I mean, I have a lot of work to do, but I think that I finally have figured out how to Read More
Over Christmas break Nate Gossett was telling me about how important (& fashionable) eyelid folds are. So much so that products and bizarre make-up techniques are now available to fix the problem. Check this out. So strange. Cute video though…that lady has a smooth voice!
