George is George

For some reason I am quite bothered when I tell someone that my female cat is named George and they say, "oh Georgette" or "Georgina". NO PEOPLE! Her name is GEORGE. Get over it. I bet you don't say that to people who have daughters named Ryan. OR sons named Carey.

odd spot

I'm not in a very good mood this evening. But, it has NOTHING to do with work!! This is really quite an interesting concept to me. I'm trying to enjoy it, even though I'm not happy!!

Sometimes God nudges us, or we think maybe He is, and it's not always where we want to go. So I'm mulling this concept at the moment. Which is why I'm not happy. Sort of. I like when God nudges, and I don't mind changing for Him. but the process of change can be no fun.

the things i have to say

today a young man was showing his underpants... his underpants had hotdogs and something else (i didn't stare!) on them... i said to him, "i can see your hotdogs"...

change of heart

A year ago, maybe two, I would've said that I didn't really like Christian music. Never listened to Christian radio. I guess it was a bout a year ago when I started trying to get into it. I LOVE it!!!

Yesterday, I even found myself switching off a country song that I like because the message behind it just wasn't what I wanted to hear. I turned it to the Christian station (94.9 KLTY) and sang my heart out to whatever was playing there.

On my way to work in the morning, especially, it's SO nice to hear refreshing lyrics with upbeat music. I'm so glad I made the change :)

Rain makes 'em CRAZY

Observation: Rain makes students absolutely nutty!! We also happen to have water issues (the city of Azle has a water main break AGAIN) so tomorrow should be FUN!!!

Friday Night Lights Out

After not having worked very hard for more than two years, I am now working VERY hard and am completely exhausted because of it. I'm having fun though :) But...

because I'm sick, I opted to not go to the football game. and I'm quite sorry!! like really, very sorry. i wish i was there. i keep looking at the clock wondering how far in they are, if we've scored, how Sean (my one student that plays on varsity) is playing, etc.

Moral of today's story: I am tired and I am sick and I have very little voice, but man, I really do love what I do!!! All 170 of my students are great kids, each with their own quarks.

Man, God is GOOD!!!
