Spring Break

It is officially spring break and because I work at a Christian school I am lucky enough to get Holy Week off! It always gets to this point in the year and we teachers (and students) need a chance to rejuvinate our bodies and souls. I am headed to MI to visit my parents and it will be a much needed respite. Kelly , a blogger I read, wants our reading list and since I am head to vacation I have a bunch. I am an avid reader; I wish there was a job where all I had to do was sit and read on a big, comfy couch! Ha! I would miss my little ones at school though! My Reading List: 1. The Story of Edgar Sawtell (good so far) 2. Out of Africa 3. The Poisonwood Bible (re-read, great book!) 4. Walden and other short stories (never read, but I think it is a essential bit of liturature) 5. Atlas Shrugged (FAVORITE BOOK EVER! Part 1 of this book is coming out today as a movie so I must re-read to refresh myself on details) I have to read to fall asleep every night so my list changes quite often! What are you all reading?

Learn a Lesson

My blog title is "live. learn. life. love. die. dust. gone." Right now I am really feeling that. We came here to live and learn from one another...and right now I am a little discouraged about what I am learning about life. BUT at this point in the year it is also a time to learn from our Lord. He came to teach us the most important lesson of all "Love one another as I have loved you" and I am trying my darndest! Easter is around the corner and as I teach the story leading up to how our Lord, Jesus Christ gave the ultimate gift and sacrafice so that we may live, I am rejouvinated. I am trying to keep my faith strong in the midst of this sinful world. I am trying really hard to take to heart the lesson that Jesus taught us. On a completely seperate note, it is almost spring break!! Yipee! I am going to be spending it with my favorite people, my parents. I am taking my dog and vacating the homestead while the hubby refinishes the wood floors. I will be making the 8 hour trip to my parents abode and cannot wait to be with them. And then it's Easter, the best time ever!! ANd then my birthday, YAY!!!!
