Yay for MLK!



So excited that I do not have to work hard tomorrow... but I do have to say that I prefer the MFS version of it. They set up service projects for the students and their families to participate in. I think I'll start something like that at my next school. The trick is getting the funds for the materials. MFS did things like cooking meals for the less fortunate, using the woodshop to make toys for kids, and things like that. I also want to expand the drama opportunities at my school. It's just that being a good teacher (not even a great one) and a decent wife (not even a really good one) demands so much time and effort, it's hard to do all I want to do. And forget having the time or energy to work out. Geez!

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be completely single, living alone, no friends, and be a teacher. I wonder if I would be some kind of superstar because that would be all that I live for. But then I would also be lonely and depressed because I would be missing out on such incredible love... that might just negate any hard work that I put into my profession. If you do not have love, your just a clanging symbol - that's the Biblical truth right there.
