Great article, Mary. These are also my concerns (that I have voiced over and over) with our educational system.

The Big Picture
I teased this week on FB that “I saw the big picture yesterday, and now I wish I had kept my eyes closed.” I’m sure some of my colleagues realized from the time reference that I was referring to our after school meeting about the future of education. Plans are in the works for a new curriculum...
Mary, as usual, you are spot on with your blog. These days, it seems that despair is all around us. I don't know how those who don't "handle it with prayer" keep going. Lifting you up this morning, my friend.

Troubling Times
It seems this week has brought more than the usual portion of trouble- personally, locally, nationally- and I might be tempted to have a small pity party if I did not keep one foot firmly planted in the past. My research of Caddo history is a constant reminder that times have always been troub...
My, my, no truer words were ever spoken (or written).
Love the picture, too.

A Day Like No Other
We think of our lives as mundane, even boring at times. But change is a part of each and every day, even if we don’t pay attention to the changes. The world will never be the same as it is at this moment. Never. Perhaps that is why there are so many passages in the Bible about living in the m...
Oh, the childhood joys of ladybugs and fireflys in the Oklahoma weather. Brings back some wonderful memories with my sister.

Lady bug, lady bug...
“Ladybird, ladybird fly away home, Your house is on fire and your children are alone.” Children all over the world have learned some version of that little verse. I spotted this ladybird beetle yesterday and couldn’t help but smile. My students having been catching these cute insects for th...
Too funny--but sad that we have lost the whole idea of customer service today.
I have to share my Walgreen's story dealing with my last name--I laugh even when I think about it today and it happened several years ago.
I stopped at the drive-thru at the Walgreen's that I've gone to for probably 30 years. My prescription had been dropped off earlier and I was feeling really poorly when I went back to pick it up. The girl asked me over the drive-thru speaker for my last name. I pronounced it for her very slowly "KINCH-A-LOW, SUE KINCH-A=LOW". Now there are not a lot of Kincheloe's around and that usually does the trick. She looked in the bins and came back and asked again. I repeated the same thing and then proceeded to spell it for her. "K-I-N" and she interrupted me with "A-I-N". I said, "No, it's K-I-N" and she interrupted me again with "A-I-N". My throat was killing me and I, too, was becoming very frustrated. Being the teacher, I then told her, "It's not A, it's K as in" at this point I went totally blank for any word in my vocabulary that even began with a K let alone made the K sound. I eventually told her "K as in knife". Of course, as soon as I said that I felt like a total idiot. She turned around and got my prescription, I paid, and left laughing all the way home.
After all, laughter is the best medicine, you know.

A Not-so-funny Comedy of Errors
I have to begin this with a confession that at least the beginning of this chain of events was probably my own fault. I’m sure that on my receipt, that I lost, or my bottle, that I threw away, there was some indication or warning or number that I overlooked. My apologies to Walgreen’s for not be...
Love the new look of your blog!

Blankets for Babies
My eleven-year-old granddaughter, Taylor, has a new mission in life- to collect 365 blankets for the babies in her community who need warmth and love. She is donating the blankets to the Modesto Gospel Mission. Taylor got the idea for her project after visiting the mission during the holidays. ...
