A teacher. Then we are also both sworn to serve. Yes, Thank God for all serving. What do you teach?
I am an endangered species, being a male first grade teacher. But I love it and have some really neat kids this year. Sometimes they make me want to tear my hair out, but with the progress they make and their enthusiasm, it's pretty rewarding. They've REALLY gone up in reading this month--they've gone from knowing 6 letters to 13 hehe. Actually, a bunch of them are reading at or above a second grade level and their writing and math have really picked up too.
That is fantastic. Keep the faith. I am not so worried about the quality of our college graduates, but of the education of the high school kids. Start them right early, yours is a precious position. Got to go now, my son is home, he just graduated. Early. Maybe I can pick up a pool game.
Metanoia is Greek for the ultimate eureka, a change of heart that results in a change of life. The vast majority of the word translated in the NT for repentence is metanoia, not metamelomae, for recognize the wrong and turn away.
