First Day of School

I dislike how we compartmentalize so many things in our lives. Church here, work there, and school is for learning. Today Some kids started back to school. Others will be joining them next week. My hope is that we are daily learning, reflecting and growing. Just as we should not make church a verb describing what we do, education should be about learning. Everyday should be the first day of school, every day should be about learning.

Song of the Day

Teach Your Children
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

Dedicated to Adam (on his first day of teaching)

And you (Can you hear and)
Of tender years (Do you care and)
Can't know the fears (Can you see we)
That your elders grew by (Must be free to)
And so please help (Teach your children)
Them with your youth (You believe and)
They seek the truth (Make a world that)
Before they can die (We can live in)
