Josh got me a beautiful new ring today. It looks a lot like my last ring except that it’s all white gold, the center diamond is a bit bigger & sits up higher, and the wedding band has little diamonds across it. Last time I had two wedding bands (one on each side), this time Read More
My school got a small art grant recently which I spent on miscellaneous visual aides for my classroom (slides & whatnot, a couple of videos). I also ordered some supplies for my students with my regular budget. Basically, I’ve been getting boxes of stuff almost daily. It’s really fun. One of the teacher support providers Read More
This is The Great Seal of the State of California: Impressive, isn’t it? I got this next one in my e-mail (it looks like something from an e-mail forward, doesn’t it?). I guess with the new Governator in office, we need to modernize things a bit. I laughed at it anyway….
One of my students wrote this poem for me. It was after we were talking about God as a creator and a “molder of clay.” Then we made clay projects to create as God created us. Anyhoo…this is the poem: God made us with some clay, Special and different in some way. Molding us into Read More
One of my students is pretty roughed up. His parents just got a divorce recently and he’s dealing with it the best way he knows how. He seemed pretty down today, which makes me worry a bit. He spent his Thanksgiving helping his mom pack her stuff to move out of state. He “gets” to Read More

I recently stumbled across these articles and was thankful to hear the stories of Christians who have endured miscarriage. In particular, I enjoyed Christian Wulfsberg’s article. He shared of his son, Noah, dying in the womb because he got strangled by the umbilical cord. After going through this death, he & his wife have another Read More
Mark Quinlan came in from MN for a visit this Thanksgiving weekend. It was good to see him. We went up to San Francisco to The Shelton Theater where we saw The Book of Liz, a play written by David & Amy Sedaris. (As all of you know…I’m a big Sedaris fan). I would rather Read More
We had a student vs. staff volleyball game on Tuesday. It was really a lot of fun, especially since most of us adults don’t play very often. I think overall I did pretty well. I may consider joining a volleyball league because I forgot how fun it is. It heightens your senses more than the Read More
Today we had an awesome sermon in Church. It was about (many things, but here’s one) how people who trust things to God’s care, receive back blessings from God that are incredible. I have learned a very valuable thing this past year. It is that everything I have is God’s. He’s nice enough to let Read More
