Vacation…
What a blessing the Mathews got. Very excited that we were invited to come with another family. They are great friends and we love to spend time with them. They offered us the chance to go hang out in the mountains of New Mexico for a couple of days. And so, without much hesitation, we [...]

Lesson learned from my students.
Last night I started a new series called “Speak Up!” In this series, I am not saying a word…my students are. Last night was our first night and it was great. It took me for a loop because the student I thought was going to speak deferred to another, but all in all…it was still [...]
