Overload...

I have no pictures to share...only thoughts and events.

Last weekend, my 'new' co-workers and I drove to Houston for a Christian School conference that is attended every year at this time. The only constant theme that went through my mind all weekend is that I have had two babies, and I have been out of teaching and the current culture for 6 years now. Time has passed me by, and I have some catching up to do. Our speaker for the weekend, was a man named Dr. Tim Elmore. His theme consisted of explaining and showing how to reach and teach this current generation, The Millennials. It was absolutely fascinating, scary, and refreshing all at the same time. I could go on and on and on. The other area that showed me I was behind was technology. I thought I was pretty hip with blogging and facebook...but I still have A LOT to learn. Using PowerPoint is old school. Many schools use much more advanced programs for students to create research projects without words. It was pretty cool, I must say. The school that hosted this conference was Northland Christian School at Bammel Road Church of Christ.
I did get to see my sweet and treasured friend, Melanie, at 9:00 p.m. on Friday night. That was definitely one of my highlights.

As for now, I'm getting ready to school, even though inservice doesn't officially start until Monday. I will say as I reflect, I don't have any idea how my mother juggled school teaching and me at the same time. I'm very blessed and thankful that I have such good friends and mother that come through for me when I need them!

Wish me luck this next week as the pace quickens dramatically. I know it will all go well, but you know how it is when you first start something.

I must confess, I haven't re-read this, so pardon the writing....;)
