Break to Blog - Maybe My Last for Spring09

I'm taking a quick break from grading to perhaps post my last blog for Spring 09. Not sure how many of you are still reading the blog. For some of you it seemed a great place to come and share prayer requests, fun stories, a question about class, etc. For others I know it was a "have to" just to get some points. Yet, I know for many it was a beneficial way to connect with others when the face to face venue was difficult.

For me...it was a way to learn WHO you are in another light. It was a way for me to connect with you and build relationships with you in a different way. It was a way for me to get to know my students in a way that helped me learn how to teach better.

I said some of the sappy stuff in class last week. This group of students - BOTH Monday and Wednesday night has been an incredible JOY. In a cold, dark, stormy winter - you have been my mug of hot chocolate, McDonald's coffee, Starbucks hot apple cider with caramel...YOU of all people understand that. It's what I pick up and hold on to when I want a reminder of what is really WARM, GOOD, REFRESHING AND WONDERFUL in this life.

You know I go to Jesus for strength, for courage, for guidance. He's my rock. God is my provider! He provides me with a wonderful family, friends and a church. He also gives me more than that. . . not only the cupcake and icing on that cupcake...

In the midst of what litearlly started out as an ICY, cold, dark winter. . . God gave me YOU, SED260 Spring09...Mymug of hot chocolate, McDonald's coffee, Starbucks hot apple cider with caramel! I love you! Have a wonderful summer!!!
