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 7th 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!

  1. I'll have to try that "fresh cold air and exercise" reset button for myself sometime. Great quote from Valley of Vision!
