A teaching quote

I spend the last two days at a workshop JUST for kindergarten teachers. I came away overwhelmed, rejuvenated, raring to go!

One quote I think everyone can learn from:

I hear, I forget. I see, I remember. I do, I understand.

We can all relate to this and have experiences of how true this statement is, but do not often really think about it. Remember this when you are trying to help someone learn something.

MASS in Baghdad

This article Come Home by Michael Yon is a very uplifting message about the progress in Iraq. I was a little confused, though, why the Bishop was celebrating Mass in the Pre-Vatican II Rite...?

It's BACK!

27 days and almost $9k later, this is what a 2007 Honda Civic is suppose to look like:

Heavenly Heros

Just thought I'd share a pic of my kindergarteners who dressed up for All Saint's Day yesterday. Pictured above from left to right: St. Francis, "St. the lady who washed Jesus' feet" (Mary Magdalen), St. Rose of Lima, St. Mary, Mother of Jesus.....

And I was St. Gianna Beretta Mola

Return to Sender...

Today I got a Christmas card in the mail! It's OCTOBER... who could be sending their cards so early??

Well, it's actually not 3 months early, it's 9 months late...

Last Dec. 14, I sent out close to 50 Christmas cards... and today, October 20, I recieved one back that was sent to Waterloo, Canada. What have they been doing with it for 9 months? Did it take them that long to realize the location doesn't exist?

Crunch.

This is what a 10 point buck does to a 2007 Honda Civic when struck straight on going 55 miles per hour -



This is what a 10 point buck does to a field of corn when flying at a high rate of speed through the air 20 ft. from where it was struck.

A little close to home...

This evening I was informed of the death of an American Soldier a little too close to home...

Sam Pearson

He was the son of my mom's co-worker. They worked together for over 30 years, and my mom has pretty much watched him grow up...

Luckily, I do not know many people who have gone over to Iraq, and haven't even experienced much death at all of family or friends... so when someone I know of has passed away, it hits home...

Please pray for the Pearson family as they grieve the loss of their brave son.

America is home of the free BECAUSE of the brave.
