A little quicky

Things are ticking right along.

We finally made it out to Looe Key, 5 miles out there is a protected reef, it was very nice. We went with a neighbor.

I'm still trying to find a technique of teaching that suits my personality. It involves as little talking as possible.

Christine is doing a study with the women in the church and she has grown so much in Christ it's amazing to watch. She still struggles with the Keys environment, but the stuff she is learning is awesome and worth the struggle.

I'm trying to discipline myself spiritually. Looking for the truth in this situation we are in. Which Christine has been helping me a lot lately. Everyday I have to tell myself the battle is not with the kids, but the evil that influences the kids. I'm learning their thought process is so foreign, that I'm having to trust God every second in that classroom to say the right things. I feel like I'm in a sword fight with a blindfold on.

Star Wars fans can relate to Luke fighting the trainer with a light saber and OB1 puts a helment on his head.

I lose 95% of the time I feel like. But I'm trusting God.

I only have 14 more days with the seniors, but it feels like another 14 years. I'm trying not to completely DREAD next year.

God will be glorified through us down here.

Isaiah 49:1-3

Pictures

Loading these pictures are a huge pain in the arms. They make it on the site 50% of the the time and take about 15 minutes each. This is a little bit of the stuff that has been going on the past few weeks more to come.

Picture taken at our friends house on big pine.

The old bridge at Bahia Honda. First Railroad on the bottom and old road on top.

wind chimes that Anna Ashley and Hayes gave Christine for her BDay. Also a pony tail palm next to screen, present from Christine's mom and multi-purpose rug, present from my parents.

Exploring an island with all mangrove on one side and beach on the other. I was on the mangrove side and discovered this little passage that cut through the island and ended up on the beach. Really cool.

neighbors and friends hanging out one night. I still have not taken down Christmas lights, because we just like'em
Hawaiian baby wood rose vines. I'm trying to grow them to block out the junk yard behind the house. Suppose to grow high and fast. We'll see. The lovely back ground is our aeration system for the dirty water. The aluminum on the sides, keep Brittan from stomping the babies and deer from eating them.

restaurant in marathon. Trying to find cool places to take friends and family.

early finish

Well it is one week after springbreak and I found out that my seniors are having their final exams 1 week early and my 9th graders,only 7th period, is having their exam onthe 1st day of exams. Bottom line:I get to stop teaching or whatever goes on in my classrooms early.That's the good news, the bad newsis, I'm not there yet.

I have been trying to upload some pictures, but it just doesn'twant to take them and if it does, it takes about 15 minutes.
