For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand outside. I would rather stand on the threshold of the house of God Than dwell in the house tents of wickedness. Psalm 84:10 #Psalms #God #Praise

I’m at the park walking and I see a guy with weights laid out- big barbell (the kind you lift over your head). I ask him if he’d like me to move it for him. He immediately starts laughing. 🤔 #strong #weights #laugh

Lately, very much into painting miniature landscapes. #art #artist #paint #ampainting #create

Sin is NOT OKAY. That’s why we need a Savior and the power of God to change us! Jesus didn’t tell me my sin was okay and leave me as is. It KILLS me to see pastors who excuse it, condone it, and celebrate it. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? #venting #atoddswiththeworld #Christian

You guys, many of my students have NO idea how to use this. 🤣#gettingolder #teacherlife #arted

Musing- I’m single, employed, half a century, and I dance around with second graders in my classroom. If I were a character in one of my British novels, I’d be a spinster-lonely, penniless, decrepit, barely surviving, and probably named something like Ms. Spiggydreg. #thoughts

Me: “ When you all are doing your self-portraits, I will take pictures of you with your masks off. We will even be drawing our noses!” 2nd grader: “What?! I LOVE Moses!” #fortheloveofMoses #teach #kids #art

When you use dictation to write your lesson plans and some one comes in and you start talking food. Not sure why it got into the poo. 🤔🤷🏼‍♀️ #dictation #yeah #didIsaythat

My latest little creations. #create #art #smile #happy

In my 22 years of teaching, I’ve been called many things by my young students. Ms. Lightning, Ms. Vitamin, Ms. Violet, Ms. Viting, Art Teacher, and even mom. Writing it’s even more challenging. I love you all. Keep trying! #teacher #art #education #names
