Risky Business and no, this has nothing to do with Tom Cruise!!!

Father God--I praise you that your word is always timely---with the billions of people here on Earth, Your Precious Word is available and applicable... from 8/24/12 Our Daily Bread
"Deception is nothing new.  Jesus described satan as one who 'does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him..for he is a liar and the father of it' "  (John 8:44)
Friday's devotion ended with these words:  There are two voices telling us where to invest our lives.  It's risky business to follow the wrong one.  AMEN!
Do you want to know the sad truth--I didn't read this until 8/26/12...had I been timely, this words would have been quite healing for what was a difficult day....why do I continue to be stupid on a regular basis?!?!?
The final footnote on this page:  If we hold on to God's truth, we won't be trapped by Satan's lies.
Words to live by, dear ones...I'm just sayin.....

At my school again....

Sung to the tune of:   On The Road Again..    "At my school again, I'm back at my favorite school again, In the classroom, lunch-room, black-top, sometimes gym, So glad to see the Jefferson Jets again!"

 I'm trying to come up with a kid-friendly version of When You're a Jet...from West Side Story..that's going to take a little longer...give me a day or two--after I stop putting my feet up and my head on a pillow after school! (And going to bed before the sun does...)  Any youth I once felt, somehow gets left on the playground and doesn't come home with me--but I wouldn't trade it for anything. 

I am blessed to be working with my husband again at Jefferson Elementary--although that may be short-lived as he has finished his Praxis in Business Ed and should be snatched up anytime soon by a great regional High School!

In the meantime--we will get used to being on our feet all day, wearing sensible shoes and granting grace to one another as we come home dog-tired, but with smiles on our faces...

Go volunteer at your local elementary school....you will understand...I'm just sayin'...
