The "Friday Five"

For some new inspiration, I have decided to do the friday five

Each week this website posts 5 questions and you have to answer them as best as you can. Then you can leave a comment on that website, and others can look at your answers. I don't know if I am going to do that part, but I will answer the questions.

1. What was the last song you heard?
The New Earth by John Michael Talbot. I was listening to him this morning after I did my devotions, and while I was starting to work. That was the last song before I turned the music off.

2. What were the last two movies you saw?
Hmmm... Probably Ice Age on DVD, and Finding Nemo. (Can you tell that I am a Dad?!? Oh well, just keep swimming, swimming...)

3. What were the last three things you purchased?
I don't ever have any money. I am having difficulty trying to remember the last 3 things that I purchased.

I know that I bought some McDonald's with the family two days ago. I seem to remember buying some meds for the kids last week, and I can't remember anytime before that.

4. What four things do you need to do this weekend?
I can only list four?

5. Who are the last five people you talked to?
My Wife, Charity. Sherry Syroteuk, the History Teacher. And three students, Eve Sutherland, Ashley Cody, and Ashley Crussel.

The Seed and The Soil of Education (New Learning Project Part 1)

(This is my entry for the first part of my project for my New Learning course that I am taking.) Introduction Corn Fields in Illinois I have lived the majority of my life in the Midwest: mid-state Illinois to be specific. Where I live, farming is everywhere. My grandparents and great-grandparents on both sides of my family were farmers. My dad grew up on a farm and owned farmland, well into my own adulthood. But, even if it wasn’t in the family, I still would have been surrounded by farming. You can’t go more than a mile outside of my city’s limits without encountering miles and miles of fields. Most of our highways, and even interstates, are located between acres of farmland.

The Minnesota Crime Commission wrote:

Every baby starts life as a little savage. He is completely selfish and self-centered. He wants what he wants when he wants it: his bottle, his mother's attention, his playmate's toys, his uncle's watch, or whatever. Deny him these and he seethes with rage and aggressiveness which would be murderous were he not so helpless. He's dirty, he has no morals, no knowledge, no developed skills. This means that all children, not just certain children but all children, are born delinquent. If permitted to continue in their self-centered world of infancy, given free reign to their impulsive actions to satisfy each want, every child would grow up a criminal, a thief, a killer, a rapist.

This too shall pass...

Gam zeh ya'avor (Hebrew) "This Too Shall Pass" Welcome!  According to Google Analytics, this is by far the most visited post that I have ever written.  If someone comes here from a search engine, most of the time they are looking for " this too shall pass quote " or simply " this too shall pass " on Google or one of the other search engines. I am sure that most of the time visitors are looking for the originations of this quote, but I have to wonder, why is this quote on people's minds? Why are they pondering the passing of events?   Here is my thought: It is probably because most of us have realized that the adult life is much harder than we ever imagined it to be. There is more pain and more sorrow than we had ever imagined as children, but we have learned that time keeps ticking. And as time continues to flow things pass. In fact, even the really big things and the really hard things will still pass. If you are here because you are thinking ...
