Monthly Archives: September 2010. September 30, 2010. What do you say? What do you say to a child whose IQ and short term memory will probably prohibit her from learning much more than she already knows? What do you say since her IQ doesn’t prevent her from knowing that she will probably never learn much more than she already knows? Is it better to tell her the “honest truth” so that she doesn’t get frustrated over things she is not capable of doing? September 14, 2010. A place of refuge …. I don’t...

Monthly Archives: July 2010. July 27, 2010. Wow … what does it say when you can’t even remember how to log in to your own blog? As I tried to untangle all the parts of this plant it became almost impossible. Although it frustrated me with the plant … it made me smile to think … “Go ahead Satan, try to untangle us … it’ll never happen.” I find comfort in that thought. Even more comforting at times like this is the thought of God’s love. This is my favorite description …. Ephesians 3 …. Barry on Change Tak...

Keeping a Promise | letters from Christ
https://lettersfromchrist.wordpress.com/2010/08/24/keeping-a-promise
August 24, 2010. Wow … it’s only the second day and I left today, in tears. However, I truly believe that today a little girl gave me a gift … a purpose … and quite a challenge. I’ve cried before (never in front of students) (well, once in front of students). It is usually because I’ve gotten my feelings hurt, the boys are being jerks, or I’m just fed up with my apathy and theirs. I can’t remember a time in my life when I truly cried for a child the way I did today. What do you read for fun? Cyndi thanks...

Monthly Archives: March 2011. March 22, 2011. Answers will vary …. 8221; I said, “Well yes” and named that battle, but that’s as far as I could go. We talk often about how the Bible is hard to understand. I have always found it hard to read and confusing. I used that as my excuse not to read it for a long time. Our teacher often points out that it isn’t really that confusing to understand “love your neighbor” or “do not murder”. This is true. On Answers will vary …. On Answers will vary ….

A place of refuge … | letters from Christ
https://lettersfromchrist.wordpress.com/2010/09/14/a-place-of-refuge
September 14, 2010. A place of refuge …. I don’t have much to update on my student. She ended up getting in a fight and was actually out of class for almost a week. We are working with her every chance we get. Please continue praying for her. Put staff changes … curriculum changes … hormonal middle schoolers … and allergy season all together and you have a bit of mess. Everyone is stressed and needing a place of refuge. Isaiah 66 …. For you will nurse and be satisfied. At her comforting breasts;. 8220;He...

Monthly Archives: February 2010. February 27, 2010. He gives me HUGE gifts! This was today’s Story of the Day that was emailed to me … “Filled to the brim with dangerous thoughts and nowhere to put them since she lives in a small town and everybody’s always watching.”. I read this and my first thought was … “exactly! Isn’t it freeing to realize that there’s no expectation to stop something that can’t be stopped? February 4, 2010. Nothing to say …. I just finished what will hopefully be my final edit on m...

Monthly Archives: January 2010. January 2, 2010. I guess …. So I’ve decided to write about my New Year Intentions. The first two I actually did today … so I’m off to a good start. My first one is: I intend to exercise some this year. I say. So I’ve decided to make myself walk. I don’t care how much I walk but I’m going to do it. Today I actually jogged a small portion. I’m telling you … I’m on a roll. Maybe my fourth one needs to be to intend to make decisions …. On Answers will vary …. What do you say?

May | 2010 | letters from Christ
https://lettersfromchrist.wordpress.com/2010/05
Monthly Archives: May 2010. May 8, 2010. With summer break just a few weeks away I’m hoping to have some more “me” time, which will bring me back here a lot more often. For now, I’ll just leave you with some encouraging statements I received this week from some of my students …. 8220;Man, that’s why I hate teachers like you.”. 8220;I like you, Miss, because you never let us get away with anything.” (I think he was being sarcastic). 8221; (Such love). No wonder summer break looks so appealing.
