PLC

During our January clerical day, we stay at school for lunch and play games instead of going out to eat, but having fun is being frowned upon this year because we don't have a contract yet. So I was planning to organize a PLC (Professional Learning Community)workshop that's fun based on the "Courage to Teach" by Parker J. Palmer. It's the most productive release I have come up with so far versus writing a parody of the situation set to the tune of a popular song like I have done with the union not letting us in to work until exactly 7:30 according to Verizon time (which is 7:33 according to the clocks in the school) in "Oblock Parking Lot" set to "Margaritaville" by Jimmy Buffett. Since I was approached about coming in at 7:27, I released those lyrics as my response. I also wrote another one about wearing black on Wednesdays to "Let It Be" by the Beatles and about not decorating doors for Christmas in "PBEA Dreaming" set to "California Dreaming" by the Mamas and the Papas. I haven't released either of those because no one has approached me about forgetting to wear black and having my aide decorate my door for me, so no response was needed. Now that the PSEA has been fined for using union money to support political candidates, I have thought about a response to that, but that seems like it already is a response in and of itself. I wonder what will strike my fancy in my next entry. Hopefully, I won't have to address the issue of a strike.

Prayer Intentions

I got a call from a lady at a ministry I support financially just to see if I had any questions about any of the recent projects that they sent me information about earlier. I didn't. Then she asked me if there was anything that I would like them to pray for and it caught me off guard, so I said, "no, but thank you." Afterwards, I thought that there are things I pray for everyday and I shouldn't be embarrassed (or whatever the feeling was) to let other people pray for those things too, but I am. Nevertheless, I will try not to act embarrassed and will let other people pray for my intentions the next time they ask.
