Ode To A Chemistry Teacher

I teach a hated subject to many of your kids,
When they hear chemistry they always flip their lids!
If I give them brain teasing chores,
Thank me for ceasing CG wars.
X-Box, The Cube, or PSP,
is replaced by learning stoichiometry.
When they babble formulas in their sleep,
Remember tis I their brains to keep!

Tears of Sorrow

Luke 13:22 Then Jesus went through the towns and villages, teaching as he made his way to Jerusalem. 23 Someone asked him, “Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?” He said to them, 24 “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. 25 Once the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside knocking and pleading, ‘Sir, open the door for us.’ “But he will answer, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’ 26 “Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’  27 “But he will reply, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.

My heart was breaking for our friends as we stood with them, prayed with them, and comforted them as they walked this hard road. I don't know why I am posting this except that today I am numb. I don't need comforting....

Come Ye Thankful People Come

So I guess it has been a kind of eventful year and I have a lot for which I am thankful.  Here is my top 10 countdown.  I know # 1 is the same and will always be the same but it is here anyway. 10) I learned how to like cauliflower. 9) Started stem cell therapy on my hip 8) I lost 40 lbs by going Keto. I now weigh about the same as when I was in High School. 7)  Corinne has lost 60+ lbs by going Keto and she feels much healthier and still looks hot.  6) My daughter Sarah, the third in our family to do so, graduated CVSOM. (Kevin was first, Brenda Emerson was second) 5) Daniel is in flight school and is becoming a pilot. 4) I was finally able to get Disability which helped us get a new car (not brand new but brand new to us - 2011 Honda CVR) 3) A new grand daughter to spoil. 2) Corinne started a new career which keeps her busy, earns money, helps people, and has made her exceedingly happy. 1) I was bought and paid for by Jesus Christ and so h...
