Pondering

How amazing are the deeds of the Lord! All who delight in him should ponder them.

Psalm 111:2, NLT
(from Air1 Verse of the Day)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I need to do more pondering in my life. I used to be better at that. Time to go back to my old ways and then get even better.

Valentine's Day Love at Work

True love exists in business. It's when employee and employer are amazingly grateful to have each other. We should all have true love at work.

Reflect the Integrity and Seriousness of Your Teaching

And you yourself must be an example to them by doing good works of every kind. Let everything you do reflect the integrity and seriousness of your teaching.

Titus 2:7, NLT

Air1 does it again. I read my student evaluations from last semester today and this was my verse of the day. Between my teaching and being division chair, this is an excellent verse to hang on to and remember. Thank you, God!

Faith

I am praying to you because I know you will answer, O God. Bend down and listen as I pray.

Psalm 17:6, NLT

What a great way to start the new year! Thanks, Air1 for this posting on 12/31/13.

Single Person's Prayer

In the summer of 2012, my friend Andrea (also a single person) wen to Banbury England. She brought back this postcard with a beautiful prayer. It was designed by Noreen Littleton, a member of the Guild of Gloucestershire Craftsmen, England. I don't know if Noreen wrote the prayer or did the calligraphy or both, but I love it all and need to pray it more often.

Why there are no teaching jobs

"Seventy percent of the faculty in my building have been teaching longer than I've been alive."
