Op-Ed
Those Who Can’t Do, Teach?
This is a most unfortunate saying that I have resented since my decision to enter the teaching profession. As years go by, my first students have become the parents of my new students. I have taught a school of classes. My practice has become polished with experience and lessons hard learned. I am not just a teacher anymore but a true educator. I take pride in my profession and see it as not a career but a true spiritual calling. This calling is not for everyone. Let me digress, I realize that I have loss some of the resentment for that first statement. I find discontentment and displeasure with others who share my title and claim to be peers and colleagues.

Dear Readers,
Everyone loves e-mail. I love e-mail. There are a lot of great benefits to using e-mail. It affords you the opportunity to get your message to someone without wasting a lot of time on the phone or writing a letter and putting it in an envelope and waiting several days for the person to get your correspondence.

<p> </p> <div> <div>       So far 2006, has been full of dreams.  I’m serious. Maybe I’ve  had so much on my mind that I am still thinking when I go to  sleep.  Maybe I’m bothered by certain things that go on during the day. It’s strange when I wake up I remember my dreams in details.</div> </div> <div> </div>
Private, Prayerful Moments
Two recent events in our country make me shake my head, and wonder, about the value we place on privacy and communication in our culture.

Dear Readers,
I think that I was the only one working like a maniac over the Christmas holiday. My children are home and it has been quite an experience. I wonder how a 4 year old and a 13 year old can argue over doing the dishes.
