Who Let the Dog Out?
Third week of back to school: the busiest one yet. But thankfully the Lord kept me going without burning out. I can't even begin to express my appreciation of that! Thursday ended up being a 7-8:30 workday split between the two schools. Not only was I able to get a ton done, but I was still smiling at the end of the day. Knowing me, myself and I, that is something only the Lord can accomplish.
Monday morning I opened the door to the staff room and found two adults and a dog. While I was trying to get my jaw up off of the floor, I apparently never thought to close the door and the dog got out. I should mention that this was taking place as kids were coming in for the day. So the dog took off into the school while various staff members chased it. I, on the other hand, tried to pick up the crumbled pieces of my brain and went back to my room, only to be confronted with numerous 4th graders and parent phone calls.
Found out later that the dog was from the surrounding neighborhood and had followed a kid into school that morning. Upon close examination, the dog appeared to be part pit bull. I'm guessing he was safely returned to his owner. Fun times.
My other fun story so far this year took place at my other school. I was "lecturing" the band kids about being good role models for the younger band kids when one 7th grader got up, rolled on the floor, and then struck a pose. It was priceless!

UNDER SEALED ORDERS
You are leaving port under sealed orders and in a troubled period. You cannot know whither you are going or what you are to do. But why not take the Pilot on board who knows the nature of your sealed orders from the outset, and who will shape your entire voyage accordingly? He knows the shoals and the sand banks, the rocks and the reefs, He will steer you safely into that celestial harbor where your anchor will be cast for eternity. Let His almighty nail-pierced hands hold the wheel, and you will be safe.
--Peter Marshall (1902 - 1949)
