Teaching at a private christian school affords me many blessings I've never had before. I've never been allowed to speak about my faith in the classsroom. I'm made no apologies over the fact that I'm a christian, and my students have never reacted adversely...maybe because they know I truly love them. But the joy of teaching in a christian environment is unmatchable (is that a word?) These kids just pour out their hearts to God in prayer believing He is going to answer. They can't wait to share a praise...when God has answered their prayers! Learning history from the true and accurate standpoint of the Bible totally helps them understand about their God. They are taking the beliefs that their parents have carefully instilled in them and analyzing them with a critical mind then making them their own. It's a beautiful thing.
Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift...and blessings that come in turn.

Ruth's health caused her to have to give up teaching the 4 year olds. She misses the joy you express.
I am glad God has blessed you with that school. That is the way I feel about the school my kids go to.
I found a picture of CJ and JL last night and thought about posting it. They were in a corner at church and smiling at the camera. They are both getting so big. I also was looking at pics of J (her b-day is Sunday) and found my shower and you were sitting right next to me in all the pics. Made me miss u more! Love ya!
I don't know what kind of other school districts you've taught in, but I know that NISD can be a pretty rough district to teach in (at least that's what I've heard from other teachers). So glad things worked out for you to move to FHBA. What a blessing!
I know that I am so INCREDIBLY blessed to have such godly parents.
Couldn't help but laugh at the music comment ... I can just imagine the looks on your students' faces!! (good thing it was a Christian song, huh?) :)
Monday at 3 sounds good to me. See ya then (if I don't see you Sunday). Do you know the last time I talked to you face-to-face outside of church (besides a run-in at WalMart)??? CHINA, RDKF -- Way too long ago!! ;)
Have you ever heard the song "How Deep the Father's Love for Us"?
Hope things are still going well. Busy I am sure.
Thanks mom! :)
Hey! Thanks for passing it along. Do you know why J is in Japan?
