Regular Readers

There are at least 2 or 3 people (other than my women) who read this blog fairly regularly - I know who some of you are. Don't worry, I won't put your names in print (maybe), although I might use your initials (Daniel Z - good picture of the boys by the way)......

If you weren't aware that you could talk back, interact, make comments, snide remarks, etc, all you need to do is push the button at the end of the post that says "Comments." From there you can tell me what you think.... or not think as the case may be.

It would be good to hear from some of you. I might not know as many people who are regular readers as I think I do.

Whether or not you comment, I'm glad you take the time to stop by and see what is rattling around in my head - coherent or not.

It's Over!

I am no longer in the classroom! Wahoo!!!!!

It has been a stretching experience in many ways. The overwhelming thought and emotion now is one of relief to be done.

I hope everyone has a good Christmas and holiday season!!!

Success?

What is the definition of success?

I'm pretty sure that it doesn't always mean getting everything right. Edison said, "Why, I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."

I've been teaching math for a couple of weeks so far. I've learned a few things. I've probably learned more about myself than my students have learned about math. I am not a High School teacher. I enjoy teaching people who want to learn the subject. This experiment has been a success, even though I doubt that I will ever become a full-time High School teacher.

We start reviewing for semester finals this week. I guess we will see how versatile I am, covering math concepts that I haven't seen in awhile.....

Priorities

I ran across 2 different posts today that make a very important point. One, the original, by Perry Noble caused Tally Wilgis to respond.

My wife is my most important pastor. She speaks truth to me in a way I can understand - I might not always enjoy it, but..... She knows me more and better than any other person walking the planet. I would be in deep doo if not for her. Especially in the very busy times of life (kinda like now). Occasionally she goes away and leaves me with all the stuff she normally does. I am very glad when she comes home again.

She makes sure that I pay attention to one of the main priorities of life - family. We only have a short time to influence our daughters, and we have to make the most of that time.

D'Sh - Thank you for allowing me the privilege of being your husband. God definitely gave you to me, and you are a good gift - He did a fantastic job when He made you. Thank you for not being the stereotypical preacher's wife. Thank you for watching out for me, keeping me out of trouble, helping me not to step in things I shouldn't step in. Thank you for loving me enough to call me up short when I need it. In my mind, you are the definition of a "helper suitable for him."
