| | The perfect studentLast night I was bearing a pretty hefty weight of condemnation because of something I did at school. I was up half the night afraid/worried/aware of the possibility of being reprimanded for it, but nothing ultimately came of it. While lying there, I had a vision of a student standing beside his desk on the front row of my class. I asked him to sit down, and he did. I asked him to open his book to page X and start reading, then do the questions at the end, and he got right on it. I was in disbelief, but I knew he represented the goodness that lies dormant in all of my students. It was at this point that I asked him, "What would it take for you to show up?" He just smiled at me, and said, "Be spontaneous."
As for now, I'm on spring break. After this, we have eight straight weeks without another holiday until May 23rd, which will be a half day. That puts us at 31 1/2 school days left. Here's to making it all the way there.
Yay for Thursdays -- date night with Jesus.
