Found This and HAD to Share...

Carlos Whittaker is a Christian worship artist, a pastor, a husband, a father, a blogger... I subscribe to his blog on my Google Reader and I LOVE his posts. He's authentic in a way that I think the world needs to see Christian being. He admits he has faults. He screws up. He's human. And that's why he needs God and His Son.

Anyway, this past week he made a post for his son Losiah on his first day of preschool. Losiah was adopted from Asia about 5 years ago and he's a cute little guy. (You may have seen this YouTube video of him getting upset because Dad says he can't be a single lady.) The list is posted here for your reading pleasure, but I encourage you to check out his blog because he's AWESOME.

1. Never test the pool water with your toe. Cannonball.
2. Buy your mommy flowers. Lot’s of them.
3. The moment you want to punch that guy for demeaning your sisters, think long and hard about the last time you got in REALLY bad trouble, then punch HARD and punch FIRST.
4. Be Brave.
5. The kid in your class sitting by themselves, don’t just sit next to them, laugh with them. Just ask Bill gates and Steve Jobs.
6. When you are about to climb the highest mountain you have ever climbed, make sure your shoes laces have double knots. Your laces will take you out before the mountain will.
7. Get home by 2 am. I promise only bad things happen after 2 in the morning.
8. Don’t get a tattoo until you are at least 25. Tattoos received from 18-25 have a 99% chance of being filled with suck.
9. All the cool kids are just as scared of being found out they are fakes as you are. Fake it until you make it.
10. When you are ready, I have 2 round trip tickets to go find your birth family on the other side of the world. Just say when.
11. Jesus is not going to make a lot of sense. He’s not supposed to. But always give Him another chance. It’s you that is confused. Not Him. I promise.

It’s better that way
Dad

Hmmmm...

I'm toying with the idea of staring a separate blog for teaching stuff. I'm starting a new school year a week from Monday and I think I might like a place to evaluate all my lessons and such. Plus, I've learned so much from other teacher blogs that I like the idea of possibly helping out other teachers.

I don't know... Just something I'm thinking about.
