I have come to fall in love with teaching in Catholic schools. What are YOU in love with?...

"Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is, than falling in love in a quite absolute, final way. What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you will do with your evenings, how you will spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love, stay in love, and it will decide everything." - Pedro Arrupe

Little Limericks

Tuesday's Little Limerick

A little more smoothly today,
and we didn't get carried away.
Lessons went well
Right down to the bell.
We made it through Tuesday - hooray!

No lies - we were far from perfect, but hey, we were much better than Monday. Perhaps it was because we mixed up the schedule a little more, or maybe because we introduced material they hadn't really seen before (i.e. specific info about our Cardinal and the Pope), or maybe simply because it was Tuesday.

No matter what, though, I can't help but say a prayer of thanks for days like this. At the end of the day, I wasn't exhausted or even frustrated. I was excited for everything we did.

As for tomorrow...
Wednesday's Little Limerick

Let's see what tomorrow will bring
With hurricanes, fractions, and things.
Rain might come our way,
So inside we'll play,
Staying engaged till the final bell rings!


P.S. - (As heard on NPR - and not totally unrelated -,) I want this man's job. Seriously.
