Well, I sit here on my birthday with no school today (canceled due to weather) eating pasties and drinking Vernor's Ginger Soda. The snow is shoveled; schoolwork is caught up; life is good. I figured out today that I am 9/20 of the century old – must be that seventh-grade math.
I had the privilege to teach a Sunday School class this past Sunday. We briefly looked at the spiritual gifts. It is amazing to me how God takes different people with different talents and abilities and uses them to accomplish His work. As we were walking to church, one of the men mentioned that if one individual is not using his gifts, then others need to pick up the slack, perhaps even making more work for others. The church functions best when everyone performs the tasks God has gifted and called them to do.
I do not have a smartphone of any type, but as soon as I find the Lesson Plan app, I will be at the store buying a new phone. If it has a bulletin board feature, that would be bonus.
I will be teaching Economics this semester. I am looking forward to that. I am still trying to get a yearbook done. That is as much fun as shoveling snow in mid-January. Of course, that is much better than shoveling in July. School resumes tomorrow, but weather is on the way -- who knows, perhaps we will see another delay or cancellation. I hope not; it is not easy to teach without holding class.
