I’m Yours

If we worship with abandon, it may look and sound like this to others, but oh, how it captures the Father’s heart.

Distracted

Green Bottle Fly by JPCTalbot on Flickr

Distract comes from the word “distrahere” which means to draw apart. Today has been a day of major distraction. There’s alot of new on the plate. Schedules are going to change and demands will definitely increase. It seems like the narrower your focus the more things feel like distractions, things that pull you apart from what you are trying to do or be. One thing that’s important to remember, “If you’re distracted by flies, don’t rub syrup on your face.”
Sometimes the best way to avoid being distracted is to stay away from things that distract you.

Born To Be Wild @ The Library

Jonathan and I are performing at the Fairmont City Library tomorrow, August 8, 2009
The summer reading theme is “On The Wild Side”. We’re doing a remake of the classic “Born To Be Wild” by Steppenwolf. Here’s the rewrite:

Born To Be Wild | Library Rewrite
Get your motor runnin’
Head down to the library
Looking for adventure
And whatever comes our way

Yeah, maybe gonna be a pirate
Cross the desert in a camel race
Fight all of the droids at once
And fly off into space

I like art and science
Reading Harry Potter
Learnin’ ’bout the wind
And feeling like I’m smarter

Yeah, maybe gonna be a pirate
Cross the desert in a camel race
Fight all of the droids at once
And fly off into space

Learn a new ninja style
Be a king or queen for a while
When you read a book
You really ought to try

Born to be wild
Born to be wild

Yeah, we’re gonna rock the house and I’ll read a few stories. You’re welcome to join us @ 2:00 pm for this free event to promote reading.

Compass Test Results…

Got my Compass Test (Computer Assessment) results. I scored a 97 on the reading section, a 91 on the writing and a very low 22 on the math section. I wasn’t too surprised by my math score, though, since I haven’t been in a math class since 1990 and even then I took a low level math as a HS senior.

I will be starting as a full time student on August 22 at South Western Illinois College (Community College) and then transfer to SIUE to finish my degree in Secondary Education. My goal is to become a middle school teacher in Literature and/or History.

I then plan to go on for my Masters degree and teach at the college level.
