“I am always puzzled when I hear cries about how God has been kicked out of our classrooms.

I love that you quoted “24.” Can’t wait for the return of Jack. I could do without Audrey.
Awesome quotes. Thanks for sharing. I was especially moved by the quote about God being kicked out of our classrooms. I’m going to send it to my mother. I know she’ll like it. She had the privilege to teach in a Catholic school in the 6th grade for a number of years and I know she wouldn’t have traded it for the world. Being able to share her faith with her students was one of the best gifts she felt she could give to them.
Anyone who says God isn’t in the classroom has never seen a group of kiddos about to take an Algebra test for which they’re not prepared…
I LOVE these! I love the God isn’t in the classroom one and the one about what separates or unites people…especially since my husband eats with his left hand (as in england most people do). :-)
The knife and fork thing…having spent a lot of time in Europe, we do eat kinda weird over here :).
Congrats on the new roomie too…can’t wait to see some finished pictures of the pretty new place!
That last quote really is a great one!
