Happy Birthday Stock and Buck!

While in Texas, my former “team”* and I were able to get together for a nice Pappasito’s (carry out) dinner to celebrate Stockman’s and Buck’s birthdays.

My favorite food…and some of my favorite people. Life is GOOD.

*LOMS used the team concept (a team of teachers—math, science, history, and English—taught the same group of students).
Front row:

Me (holding my dog, Skip), Preacher’s Wife (former library aide at LOMS), Bonnie (history team teacher), Stockman (math team teacher), Buck (former librarian), Tom (science team teacher)

Back row:
Ray (Bonnie’s husband), Jodie (science team teacher after Tom retired), Nicole (not on our team, but I hired her to teach at LOMS—truly one of the best hiring decisions I have ever made.)

Once our eyes are opened, we cannot pretend we don't know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows what we know, and He holds us responsible to ACT.
