In two days...

I'm not sure if the cyber-world cares, but in two days, I will be entrusted with the education of 24 seventh graders.
I remember reading Anne of Avonlea when I was young, knowing full well, that one day, I would be in Anne's position: inwardly quaking as she faced her pupils. Well, Anne, here it goes!

    OH! FINALLY! I've inquired of this blog through seasons and epochs! From Ethiopia to Good Shepherd Youth Ministry! From Rossier Tribulations (you Proner of the Year, you!) to your Teach For America apps.

    And The LORD knew. It was PlaceCorp for you.

    GO GETTEM, TIGER.

Before the Devil Knows You're Fed

Some call me reckless. Many call me silly. I say that once I've gotten an idea in my head, I simply must carry it out! Today's idea was grocery shopping. My sister had left me a list of all the items she would need for the next 40 days of her Eastern Orthodox, paleo-like, Lenten fast and I would not fail her! Since I would be sharing her food, I didn't mind doing some of the shopping. "Now, " you might say, "grocery shopping is not reckless or silly at all!" and you would be right. The only problem with grocery shopping is that it usually includes a number of bags of heavy cans, and produce that must not be squished. Grocery shopping is also usually completed with the aid of an automobile. My trusty steed Brad being in the shop, I decided to have a little adventure and take the closest bus.

"The Natural Outgrowth of Memorizing Ephesians 4 at a Young Age"

There are many other, better things to read that will do that (that I enumerate at the end if you're looking for interesting reading material).  My purpose is to show you all my heart and to hopefully show you how the Holy Spirit has been alive and well in me. It's a very personal account that I labored over a year ago when I was finally ready to have this conversation with my parents. Please, please, please do not start a discussion or argument over any of these social media sites. If you would like to ask more questions or hear more of the story, I would be so honored to chat with you, in fact, there are so many of you that I've dearly been wanting to catch up with anyway, and this might be a good facilitator for that! Thank you all for bein
