“This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” ~Psalm 118:24 I’m a little over a week away from student teaching. It’s hard to believe that I’m a senior already. It seems like just yesterday I was coming off to college as a freshman. This next week is … Continue reading »

Even a white Christmas…

Even a white Christmas cannot compare to the first Christmas. It is so easy to get caught up in the “Spirit of Christmas,” in the shopping, the sweets, and the gift-giving.
