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

Breaking from Normal

A taste of Arizona tonight -
One student from SJV
who now lives in Chicago with her family,
playing volleyball for her school.

Cheering and watching in the crowd,
catching up with her mom and sister.
They won!
And it was truly a lot of fun.

It's good to take a break from the normal routine of everything and enjoy something different and special. Tonight I went out to the suburbs to see a family from the school I taught at during the ACE program. It was almost surreal, seeing them up here in Chicago, when the last time I had seen them was back when I visited AZ in March...

Even though traffic was easy to complain about for the ride home, it was still worth it. And I'm looking forward to seeing them again soon.

Friend time is definitely not wasted time. It's time well-spent, for sure.
