School

Well, for those of you who have been asking. School is going well. Finals on Mon. and Wed. so I am trying not to think about that very much. I have spent a few hours studying and no doubt this weekend will be filled with more of the same.

Lindsey and I had a fine time at the Carriage House Inn this Thurs. evening. We danced for the residents, and taught some poor helpless audience members the steps to the virginia reel and the whoop dance. I never thought that I would be teaching people to dance. I don't even know how to dance myself, it is a good thing that teachers do not actually have to be good at something to be good at teaching it.

To be continued...

I thought at first to wipe the spit from my conservative boots, but then I decided to shine my shoes. My thoughts and values tied so deeply to morals that are pure and rich; values that no amount of spit can tarnish. Values that reflect His Image, an image so spectacular that it shines even more brightly when contrasted with the hate that mocks it.

Sleepless...

I find myself sleepless this evening. I have been working on a paper to post here all evening. It isn't completed or ready for human consumption at this point but soon it will be posted. It will of course be biased, and it won't be politically correct. It will also be religious and come from a distinctly Southern point of view. If all of those things sound like concepts you haven't heard in a while come back for the juicy details. Goodnight all!

Directions...

I spent this week teaching students to use a compass. It is very important that they line everything up exactly right and keep an eye on what is straight ahead. If they don't get the degrees or the steps right the first time I send them to start back at square one. God has been reminding me that He has each step mapped out for us. If we miss something we need to start back at square one and try to follow the directions again.
