                                        I don't teach music. I teach kids through music." - Eph Ehly. Thursday, April 22, 2010. Things have been crazy around here! Here's a thought (totally seperate from the above statements) that I've been pondering today: If we all know and understand that nobody is perfect, why is it so hard to accept when we fail or do something stupid? I'm not saying we should just be ok with messing up, but why is it SO difficult to admit when we're wrong and apologize? Are we too prideful to admit that we messed up?

For there is nothing you can say that I haven't already thought. Waves of guilt wash over me like sheets of rain. But then I think of how comfortable and dry I was, and I'm like, "Peace suckers! Have fun with the flu." Seriously though, If I had it to do over again, I would've dried off and gone BACK to the game!

                                        I don't teach music. I teach kids through music." - Eph Ehly. Monday, June 14, 2010. In 2nd Samuel, a man named Benaiah is in the woods on a snowy afternoon. He spots a lion. Most of us would wet ourselves, then run. Not Benaiah. He charges the lion and the lion runs! I bought a book yesterday called In a Pit With a Lion on a Snowy Day. I'm not going into that pit after that lion! The adversity makes us better, stronger, wiser. I would probably go about two-thirds that size. It's called a "rampant li...

As you know, I have made an effort to be a soccer fan for the 2010 World Cup. So, I went to a local bar here an Auburn called Quixote's to watch the match this morning at 8:30 am Mimosas and breakfast burritos were flowing and patriotism was high. I felt like a true soccer fan watching a match in a bar in the morning! Elation. Pure joy. Check it out. Http:/ forlots.blogspot.com/.

While it's good to hang out and cut up, we also attend concert sessions and interest sessions. Here's where things get thick. I found myself intensely frustrated today. By what? Mine is just a different circumstance that makes it more difficult to have a comparable middle school program to others in the state. Tuesday, January 5, 2010. Cousins.

For the last two years, I've paused at the beginning of football season to thank the football gods that another season is upon us. Then, I blink and the season is almost over.

I was never cool enough to play soccer. I was never athletic enough to play soccer. Why watch or play soccer when there's hard-hitting, high-scoring American football to watch? Things I don't like:. 1 Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin. I like how the clock just runs. You will not have to watch commercials until half time.

Anyways- if you happen to stop by and read, I'll write some things just for you. Life right now is grand. I'm (generally) happy at my job, there's an extra hour of daylight every day, I attend a great church, I've been lifting weights (to get swole for warrior dash. which is a topic for another post), my car runs well, my dog runs well. life is good. Let there be light! It was a little nuts.
