Wednesday Morning Mind Wanderings
Wisdom: What you want ain’t always what you need. Sometimes, what you want is encouragement when what you really need is healing. You need release instead of just relief.

Every Teacher You Know Has Thought About It (or, what a WAY to end the school year)
Every one of us. The thought is just about as American as apple pie, as the slavery and murderous tendencies that make up the blood and bone of this nation’s historical skeleton. Is this the day my school gets shot up? At this point, we simply expect it, another unfair, unkind weight dropped on our […]
