Since I don't have many of my own stories to tell right now, here's a funny one I read today. A friend of mine was working with a 2nd grader who said he wanted to be a "terrorist" when he grew up. My friend, being somewhat concerned did a little probing. Turns out this little guy really wants to be a "tourist" when he grows up. A much better ambition I would say. In a couple of weeks I will be spending a maternity leave with a bunch of 3rd graders. Maybe I'll have more to share.

Later.

Well, here it is. My first attempt at blogging. Hannah does it, Doug does it so why not me? I am struggling this year. Due to a midsummer move, I have no class of my own. I am left to subbing. Before I had my own classroom, I enjoyed subbing. However, I miss the routine, the daily investment and the reward of taking lives and pouring into them and watching them change over the course of the year. The prospects for a class next year don't look good here. What to do? I know with all my heart the God has a plan, but boy am I ready for Him to reveal. Even in the darkest of times I hold onto Jeremiah 29:11

On a bright note, I have learned several new things that I will try in my own room next time. It is one benefit of popping in and out of different rooms.

Later.
