Spending my Days

I am spending my days in my currently empty classroom, trying to get all of that "stuff" ready for the beginning of another school year.

If you haven't seen it yet, here is a picture of my school, taken by the Science teacher, Mr. Heavner.
 
The sound of the rain outside has helped make my room a good place to get some work done.  It also gives a nice opportunity to occasionally get up and check out the mountains in the background.  They are really cool in a storm.  You can see the clouds rolling gently over the edges of the mountain behind the school.
 
 
 
I thought that I would also add a picture of the gymnasium that is currently under construction behind the building.  It is going to be really nice when it is completed.  Right now we are still praying on the funds to finish the project.

Finally, I thought that I would pop in a picture of my (messy) desk so you can really see where I spend my days.
 
(Note: You can see the blog post that I am currently working on when I took the picture.  Also the book, When Sinners Say "I Do" is on my desk as well. )
Well, this is where I am spending my days.  I would enjoy seeing where you spend your days.  Take some pics, drop me a note.

  2. Man, you look like you were actually working! Especially with the official-looking framed documents in the background!

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.

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 ...

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.
