4:47 – Time to Prepare for Lent #faithbites #faithjourney prepare Setting Today is Fat Tuesday. I don’t know about you but I’d love to have a Paczki but there is no way I’m getting out of my neighborhood today with the snow. Oh well, we can party like it’s New Orleans in my own house.

3:325 – Teach Me Cursive #faithbites #faithjourney cursive Setting Today my six year old asked me to teach her cursive. She has no other reason than she saw us do it and she wanted to learn it. My eldest showed her some letters and I printed her off worksheets for every letter. While she was excited to learn, she was […]
3:295 – Irrational Fears #faithbites #faithjourney Irrational Setting Today I submitted the second draft of my dissertation. I immediately felt fear. Fear that my advisor would tear it a part as she did back when I submitted the first drafts of my general and special field literature reviews. The thing is, it’s an irrational fear. My pulse is racing and […]

3:80 – Into the Unkown #faithbites #faithjourney #COVID19 Unknown We are marching Into the Unknown. (And No, I’m not talking about Elsa’s big number in Frozen 2). In Illinois, as of 2 P.M. tomorrow, we go into “shelter in place”. That means most businesses are closed. Essentials are open. This is unheard of for most in the United States. In […]
3:37 – How Many Spoons Do You Have? #faithbites #faithjourney Spoons I’m tried. Between work, school, health, family, and everything, I’m tired. It’s hard to describe what being tired really means when dealing with chronic health. A friend introduced me to the spoon analogy. This theory helps to explain chronic illness to those who don’t have it. In a nutshell, […]
2:328 – Differentiated Faith Journey #faithbites #faithjourney #RoadToEdD Differentiated This weekend was a writing weekend for me. It was time to buckle down and work on my dissertation. My specific area of interested is differentiated learning or how you change the content, process, product, or learning environment to match students needs and readiness. In all the months and years studying […]
2:303 – The Law And The Doctrine #faithbites #faithjourney Doctrine Before we start, I want to apologize if this offends anyone. This isn’t meant to do that but rather to open a dialogue of searching, questioning, and growing in faith. These also are my thoughts and don’t reflect the belief of my denomination or church.
