The Reset Button

This morning I arrived at school to no internet. Those first moments had me scrambling to figure out what to do without the resources I need. It happened to be a simple fix of turning the wireless off and on again. Thank goodness!

My students came in with a not-so-easily-resolved problem—half of them woke up on the wrong side of the bed and the other half on the right side! (When 7^th graders wake up on the right side of the bed they act all goofy.)

When smoke started coming out of ears (mine included), I resorted to something a former teacher used to do—two laps around the parking lot! Fresh cold air, competition, exercise—Thank goodness, people come with reset buttons too.

When I can’t go forward until I’m reset, the best way to reset myself is by calling out to God. How wonderful to experience His ability when I had none!

Where Better to Begin

Where does one start a blog? I suppose it's appropriate to start right in the middle of what I do every week.
1. Teaching 5th-8th grade students that know each other and the school building way too well
2. Supervising the food part of a church fellowship
3. Making a winter promotional video at Camp Joy
4. Cleaning up after dinner during a retreat

Fortunately, this weekend I don't have to do soundbooth for the service. I say fortunately because the service that usually starts at 6:00 or 7:00 started at 9:00 tonight. Instead I spent another hour after dinner working on the winter promo video and then headed home to a couple of hours of schoolwork. This weekend I have to finish entering grades for report cards which go out on Monday in addition to the lesson plans I have to prepare for next week.

Never a dull moment!
