another 2 hour meeting

Yep I just got out of a two hour meeting, helping me understand and be better at teaching science.  It was 2 hours long, and anther meeting on top of all the other things and meetings that I have to do and go to.   Do you ever feel like that?  But now that it is done and finished, it was a good meeting and I learned how to understand concepts and be better at teaching the "big ideas" of science.  Sometimes we get to complicated and don't focus on the main ideas that we need.  And understanding the main ideas actually make it easier to understand and know how everything works together better.  The same idea applies to our lives.  Sometimes we need to get to the basics and things will come together better and we will understand everything better.

Are we going to have any video stores anymore? Hollywood, Blockbuster what is going on?  Well let me tell you what is going on, and you probably already know. One word. Redbox.  Or I guess the other big one is Netflix OK maybe it is two, what ever. So how am I going to relate this to our lives?  As I write this I don't have a clue.  Well, right now our TV is well half dead.  Ya it doesn't work, well we can play DVD and the old things, what are they called, o yes, VHS videos.  Yes I am still old school and have those, I don't have any Blu rays, or a Nintendo or Play Station or a Wii. O yes I would like one, my son really wants a Wii, but just don't have that kind of money laying around right now.  OK back to were I got sidetracked.  Sometimes we replace things in our lives that are good, and other times we replace some pretty important things with stuff that is not that critical.  So my point: we need to be really careful that we are not replacing the important stuff with other junk and filing chapter 11(like Blockbuster is going to do) spiritually, mentally or physically, or placing or family off to the side.

Hey look at what I found, it is not even out  yet.

I haven't made the best of decision when ever there is a decision placed before me, but I try I really do.  I got talking to a student today,  he was making some wrong choices that was affecting how he was acting and what he was allowed to do.  He said that he wanted to start over tomorrow, so he wasn't going to work today.  No we have to start today, because the choices that we make today are going to affect tomorrow, whether they are good or bad.  Today's  choices will affect tomorrow and possibly farther.  I got thinking, wow somebody should be giving me this talk, maybe someone was giving it to me, and using me as the mouth piece to try and teach myself.  Do you believe in a higher power? I do, and I'm thinking He was trying to talk to me.

Life comes at us from many angles, like a group of bullies picking on the little kid that has $5 for his lunch money for the whole week.  Where you feel like no one cares, because no one stops them or even asks to help you after they are gone.  I wonder how many of us put on a mask every time we walk out our doors and have to interact with the world.  there is no need for us to be hiding behind some kind of mask.  I will guarantee that there are many many people out there that is willing to help you in any way shape and form, we are just to stubborn to let them.  My challenge: let some one get to know you a little better and share some of their great self with you, as you share some of yourself.
