The Lord takes my breath away. I am profoundly grateful I own a camera to capture even an iota of His greatness.
I just listened to President Barack Obama deliver the State of the Union Address. Would that the idealism and the passion presented come to fruition. Lord, we need you!
" We know a good teacher can increase the lifetime income of a classroom by over $250,000. A great teacher can offer an escape from poverty to the child who dreams beyond his circumstance. Every person in this chamber can point to a teacher who changed the trajectory of their lives. Most teachers work tirelessly, with modest pay, sometimes digging into their own pocket for school supplies - just to make a difference.
"Teachers matter. So instead of bashing them, or defending the status quo, let’s offer schools a deal. Give them the resources to keep good teachers on the job, and reward the best ones. In return, grant schools flexibility: To teach with creativity and passion; to stop teaching to the test; and to replace teachers who just aren’t helping kids learn."
How did I miss this sunset?!?! How blessed your students are to have you as a teacher! xoxo
