Senses – part 4
The sense of touch is the odd one of the five senses. We “feel” our way around in the dark, usually bringing a little pain along the way. Certain sensations give us the “Willies”, and I would like to know who Willie was and why he felt that way. Then there is an injury called…

Baseball?
I love baseball. Played on summer league teams until I was 16 years old and that year I was the second leading hitter for average in the league. Best kept secret it was because no one on the High School baseball team ever approached me about playing. I played on softball teams for many years…

View 2 – Music
Two views, same event. I had a group of 8th grade students staying for extra help after school to prepare for a test. Actually, they were all girls. After we worked through the first example, we started the second one with all of them writing a couple of lines of the geometry proof on their…

View 1 – Logic
Two views, same event. My first experience as an adult in viewing into the 7th grade mind was a couple of weeks into the school year. This was my 3rd year teaching, but first time having students younger than 9th grade. I turned around from writing something on the board, yes we still used chalk…

A little rain
We are a hardy people, here in Northeast Ohio. We endure a lot of challenging weather. I have watched the radar many times and have been amazed at what I see. We have all heard about Lake effect, and how moisture will be picked up from the lake and dumped once it moves onto the…

Don’t be the subject of stories like the one below. There is a mental processing that needs to take place within all of us when we make decisions. I am not even talking about right and wrong here, because most likely people who make these kinds of incomprehensible decisions know right from wrong. But they…

Not Counted
Just saying…….. I don’t think that I was counted when I arrived for my walk in the park. I often tell the story of Javon, an 8th grade student in my classroom who had cancer. He missed all of 7th grade and upon entering 8th grade we met with the counselor to discuss the year…

In the Hand
The picture is from my son’s garden where this plant in front of my hand is actually wrapped around a fly and has it captured. How bizarre is that? The saying goes, “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.” I get it. Look at the things that you have. The family,…

Tale of the stats
Ok, I am a short person. Lots of tall genes in the family, but I basically got none. While I am very blessed by how God made me exactly this way, there are circumstances where this becomes more obvious. To be more specific, my legs are short. I sat on the floor next to one…

Yellow?
Buses represent something interesting in our lives. A group of people crammed together with some common purpose. For adults that could mean trips together to new places, or going to a special event. Mission trips use buses and teams ride buses to the big game. Little kids think buses are the coolest thing. It is…
