Found something out about myself Wednesday night. I can’t teach with very little preparation (Well DUH!) For the first part of the Bible class I stumbled along telling the story (I Samuel 15). Something about the destroying the Amalekites…and not completely following God’s will. But in the end it all worked out and I was able to get to the real message of the lesson. Next time I really need to review the Bible lesson days beforehand instead of an hour beforehand. Anyways the worst thing that could have happened was looking stupid in front of a room full of 4th graders. What makes me look bad is that my co-teacher is a real life elementary teacher who teaches very well. Not that I’m really concerned about looking bad. It’s just the bar is set so much higher when the other teacher teaches.
In any case I’m moving on to teaching 5th and 6th grade next Wednesday night. I will be in teaching rotation with the other 2 teachers, so I guess that means I’ll be teaching every 3rd week. Hopefully I’ll be able to grow and learn how to teach. I really want to try to contribute to teaching.
This gets me frustrated. When I ask someone to take a picture of myself….they take it. Then you get the picture back and its all blurry. Can’t some people take a decent picture? Is it that hard to hold a camera steady? Can’t someone make a camera which takes pictures no one can mess up?
Here’s my proposal. Any cell phone that rings during church services should be systematically destroyed by running over it with the church van. This would put a stop to this annoyance.
I see that The Lipscomb Underground has undergone a slight redesign. After being offline for the entire summer, it is back online. If you are a former or current Lipscomb University student or an interested party, go there. You might find some good discussion.
Friday Five:
1. What’s your favorite piece of clothing that you currently own?
Probably one of my t-shirts with a funny slogan written on it. Like “There is no off position on the genius switch.” Or “Never Underestimate the Power of Stupid People in Large Groups.”
A while back I saw a t-shirt at Target which said “Stop Reading my Shirt!” I really should get that one.
2. What piece of clothing do you most want to acquire?
Nothing in particular. I’m not a big clothes shopper. Although I like to get t-shirts at whatever event (concert, gathering…etc) I’m at.
3. What piece of clothing can you not bring yourself to get rid of? Why?
Old camp t-shirts. I have some that are 10 years old. Memories keep them alive.
Also my mom found an old VBS shirt from 1982. That one is a keeper too.
4. What piece of clothing do you look your best in?
Probably a suit and tie. But I hate wearing it since it is so unconfortable. Immediately after getting home from church I change into something more confortable.
5. What has been your biggest fashion accident?
Wearing bright orange Converse All Stars shoes in Junior High
