MY CONFESSION OF FAITH

LORD JESUS, BE OUR DEFENDER, PROTECTOR and GUIDE. LEAD US IN A PLAIN PATH. DO NOT LET US TRUST IN ANY OTHER NOR STRAY FROM YOUR APPOINTED WILL FOR OUR LIVES.

RAISE UP A STANDARD TO THOSE THAT WOULD ATTACK A GODLY REPUTATION. PROTECT OUR GOOD NAME. LET ALL RECOGNIZE THAT OUR CHARACTER IN YOUR CHARACTER, OUR NAME IS YOUR NAME, OUR REPUTATION IS YOURS.

I TRUST IN THE LORD GOD, MAKER OF HEAVEN AND EARTH. I AM EVER ENTWINED WITH THE CROSS OF JESUS. ......I AM CONVINCED THAT NEITHER LIFE, NOR DEATH, NOR ANY PERSON CAN SEPARATE ME FROM THE LOVE OF GOD, IN CHRIST JESUS......

YOU WHO TRY TO DEFAME MY CHARACTER.....DO NOT KNOW MY FATHER. YOU WHO TRY AND MALIGN MY INTEGRITY.....DO NOT KNOW MY FATHER. YOU WHO CALL ME A LIAR....DO NOT KNOW MY FATHER.

I WAS FORMED IN THE WOMB BY GOD, HIMSELF. HE HAS ORDERED EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE. THE WORDS IN MY MOUTH ARE KNOWN BY HIM BEFORE I EVEN SPEAK. I AM HIS CHILD AND HE IS MY FATHER.

MAKE RIGHT THE INJUSTICE! DEFEND OUR GOOD NAME! ...IN YOU I LIVE AND HAVE MY VERY BEING.....

I TRUST IN THE GOD OF THE UNIVERSE THAT SENT HIS SON TO DIE FOR ME AND GIVES ME THE HOLY SPIRIT TO BEAR WITNESS THAT I AM HIS CHILD. HE HEARS MY EVERY THOUGHT AND PRAYER.

THESE ARE MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYER TODAY, DEAR FATHER.

I SCREAM THIS DECLARATION TO ALL WHO BELIEVE AND THOSE WHO DON'T. THIS IS MY CONFESSION OF FAITH TODAY.....AUG. 30, 2009

SCHOOL...SMOOTH START

We anticipated a rough crowd and glad to report that school began smoothly. With anticipated Gang influx, we tightened discipline, dress code (too much) and have a new Dean of Students who will take care of discipline. I pray that he will be more consistent and stricter.

I rearranged and twisted the start of the year. I was getting bored. Still did the same activities but in different ways. Our District has been giving us the opportunities to attend Workshops. i attended 4 this summer...in June and in August. Got some good ideas that i could use to engage students from the first day.I enjoyed the variety!

Well time to head to bed.....As I get older...that gets earlier....LOL

SUMMER ........ GONE

My computer has been down all summer and with a wonderful gift, I am back up and typing.

Spent time with my Mom in IA. She continues to gain strength and is at home. She gets around with the help of her friends...still no driving per Dr. orders. She was taken to a friends 80th Birthday in Davenport, IA and then to the Mall of American in Minneapolis.....Shopped until she dropped with her sister Lila (age 90, Mom turned 88 in Aug.). With walkers, they did 8 hours one day (a nap included). FUNNY!!!!

Molly was with me for about 5 weeks. She spent time with Emily and we enjoyed her 22nd birthday.. She returned to USMMA on July 25 to begin her Junior (2nd Class) year at the Academy. She will spend 9 months at Sea this year Nov. to June, 2010.

Emily began her 3rd year at teaching. She is teaching at the same Charter School in Denver. Her team did very well on the State Testing in March.....hard work and it paid off!!! Giles has finished his first transcript of his book and wants to have it to a agent by Dec.

I started my 39th year of teaching. Still at Carson Middle School teaching Computers.

Hope to keep up with his blog better now.....no promises....but at least I have access...

BLESSINGS.....
