Wow, It took the C virus to really appreciate my students. It took the Corona Virus to really make me feel the joy of teaching. I can’t explain it very well but I think it might have something to do with connecting with people who love to create and be a part of something in real time, in real person. There is a lot to be said about this. I am naturally an introvert. And when the whole shut down happened I thought, I got this. I can to this. It’s what I do! But it wasn’t that easy. I found…
Front side of 2020! Many of us are just trying to cope with what is being thrown at us day by day. There seems to be shocking news everyday. 3 weeks ago it was like “Ground Hog Day” everyday.

I never tire of the desert life. Sometimes I think about living in some other part of the country but I always follow it up with …”but I will miss the desert”.

My dad has been gone from us for many years now. But I just want to take time out to remember him for his goodness and contributions as well as his struggles. First of all, I can imagine it’s tough being a man in this world. Being a provider, a protector, husband, father, the cornerstone to the family. It’s a lot to juggle. Ideally, that is what a man is. My dad was all that. A dad of 6 kids. The things I know of his past, his struggles and pain all came from stories my mom told me. My…
This year has started off very different from the last 4 years. We are now 3 months into the year. This is about the time we first measure how the year is going so far. I’m not sure you will believe me or that I will bore you with my faith beliefs but here goes. Goal #1. To be bold in my faith! In the spring of 2017 I had such a difficult season working in my own strength. (My own strength? you ask,) ” I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” Philippians, 4:13. Yes, in my…
