Hello Teacher Friends!! When reading today’s proverb, the tongue was mentioned over and over. We all know how a word harshly spoken can ruin a class period, so today I am praying verses 1 and 3 for students AND for myself. God, help us always speak the right words. A gentle answer turns away wrath,…
Days 3-9: Should your next school year start now?
I’m off on my 25th Anniversary trip today- so I’m posting a week’s worth! Love you, and God bless you as we each prepare for our next school year. Proverbs 19:21 became my mantra for the end of the 2016-2017 school year. I think I’ll post it above my classroom doorway next year and make…
Should your next school year start now? Day 2
The 2016-2017 school year was my worst ever emotionally, but I’m anticipating 2017-2018 to be one of the best.

You can do it!!
Tomorrow is another great day to be a teacher! We have been given an amazing opportunity to shape young lives by handing out knowledge, love, and encouragement. It is no secret that I have been discouraged lately, but last week, a teacher friend named Becky pulled me aside and said, “You are doing a great…
For Teachers Only-(the rest of you shouldn’t even bother reading this.)
I don’t know about you, teacher friend, but I have felt completely overwhelmed at my job lately. Last week was probably the worst one on record as far as my emotional state and my feelings of ineptness go– I’ve even developed psoriasis! Oh Brother!! And I’m not even exactly sure why. I guess it’s because I…
The Trouble With Gladys
I am enamored with the great life of Gladys Aylward. (If you aren’t familiar with her story, here is the short, 3 minute version: A short history of Gladys Aylward.)

Eaten by a Lion
To be eaten by a lion would be a terrible thing— the terror of being attacked by a giant cat with sharp claws, the ripping of flesh, aware the entire attack that you might not make it out of the fight alive, but if you do, you will be severely maimed. Two times in the…
