SAY WHAT YOU MEAN,MEAN WHAT YOU SAY

I think I do say what I mean I'm not sure people hear what I say. I think sometimes they hear what they think and think they know what I mean. Confused yet? If not, you soon will be.

     We're all misunderstood at times and we all misunderstand. The important thing, I think ,is to communicate directly to the person whose intent you question. Otherwise misinformation is the result and can be very damaging. Once started, its difficult to stop, and the damage has been done.

     Is this personal experience, yes it is. Lesson learned... don't assume you will be unserstood

     This has made me think of that (think out of the box) saying. People don't want you to think out of your box , they want you to think in theirs.

Come on people!

I'm not writing this stuff to read myself. I need some kind of response. Do we have a problem? Am I boring you, am I a snoozer. I can jazz this up a bit if that's what it takes. You must let me know, I can take it. Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind and I need a little kindness.
Or maybe it's you and you're willing to read but not write. Come on, do your part!

WHAT MOTHER SAID

My Mother, when she was at the end of her rope, would always say things like:
Don't eat with your mouth full. She meant talk.
This is the last time I'm telling you. (it never was )
If I've told you once,I've told you a thousand times.
Don't hit your brother.
Did you put on clean underware ? Sometimes.
Did you brush your teeth? Probably not.
If your friends jumped off a cliff I suppose you would too.I never had one friend jump off a cliff ever.

What did your Mother say? Maybe you weren't as challenging, maybe you were one of those perfect children my Mother was always telling me about. The kind of kid that always got me into trouble. I'd like to hear about you, name, address, etc.

My mind is on vacation

Easter

We usually spend spring break in Fla. This year we are staying home having some repairs and upgrades done to our house. I'm finding myself much more into the meaning of Easter and the unimaginable sacrifice made for us.
 We know humanity, being part of it, and dealing with it everyday. God's love for us is amazing and totally undeserved. I try to love my fellow man but as soon as they let me down in some way I find that love wavering. Sadly I know I do the same, I let people down often when I put myself first. But God's love sees beyond our sin and forgives. How blessed we are. Not going on vacation doesn't seem like much of a sacrifice.

SERIOUSLY ?

I was on fb eariler today and noticed a picture posted by two of my students. The punch line contained the F word written out. Usually I don't respond to students,but I did this time and what I said was SERIOUSLY? These are sweet girls using bad judgment. It seems everyone sees fb and you probably shouldn't put any thing on you wouldn't  want your grandmother to see. It was funny though.
Technicaly they aren't my students since I lost my job, but in my heart they will always be my students.
Love those creative questioning minds.

ONE MORE TIME

I've lost track of all the blogs I've started only to abandon them, poor things that they are, out there in blogger land What is the secret? I'ts not like dieting or exercising which I admit I hate hate hate. I like writing , actually more than talking, no one to argue or interupt you. I do like to talk. Spelling and grammer trip me up sometimes and the lack of response can leave you feeling bad about not making a connection with any one.
I think what I'm lacking is a theme,or a purpose. What I need is an ideologly. Could someone give me one. lone one out? Don't get me wrong, I have strong feelings about a lot of things....well that makes me think of something I was a bit bothered about.
I heard on the news that in Britan they are trying to make it illegal  to wear a cross in school. Now I wonder who is behind that? Ask yourself this, who hates Christians, who would like to see them disappear? Just asking. It's time to take a stand, and if you are a Christian speak up. You don't need to rant or argue, you only need to say in love, I am a child of God and Jesus died for me. And the hard part? Living it out in a Christ like way. Amen, anyone?
