Jesus is not my homeboy. He is my Lord, my Master, and my King. He is my example and my better. He is my Bread of Life. Jesus is not my buddy. He is my constant companion, My shepherd, my guide. He is my strength, My rock, My refuge. He is my beloved, and He […]

1. “Skip a few” is not a counting number. 2. Don’t hold the cat’s hind legs in the air while he eats. 3. Change your socks before someone comments on the odor.. 4. Cats don’t like to wear hats. 5. It’s difficult to be accidentally rude when calling an adult “sir” or “ma’am.” 6. Cats […]

I’d love to point you to this article at Egregious Twaddle, about this article at HuffPo, and just say “Enough said,” but I can’t help myself. The comment box says things like “I woke up this morning and didn’t find a republican in my vagina.” I take it not having a republican in her vagina […]

Don’t get me wrong: I’m not entirely unsympathetic toward parents who face a difficult road. Having special […]

Conceptual learning is all the rage. Sure, it has been ever since they introduced the first “new math” that didn’t do a very good job of teaching it; but the idea was there: method is fine, but it should never be taught in place of concept. And tricks should be avoided because then kids will […]
