"But Jesus, aware of this, replied, “Why criticize this woman for doing such a good thing to me?  You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me. She has poured this perfume on me to prepare my body for burial." -Matthew 26:10-12


Today is a monumental day in the history of the United States. There are those who believe that the nation has gone far off course, those that believe the nation is only now getting back on the right path, and those that think that their is no hope for any positive outcome. This is unfortunate for a variety of reasons, but I am hopeful for the future. Even though at the same moment I am furious at the state of affairs that many citizens find themselves in. A fair shake in life is a right, it is the essential component of dignity.
I have had the privilege of working with children over the last several weeks, but yesterday was very difficult for me. I saw children that loved reading and doing math and were invigorated by the classroom environment. But, at the same time there was the quiet child in the back that struggled to do basic addition well below their grade level. This is simply unacceptable. Change is an inevitable part of life and society. It is only right that certain injustices begin to get rectified. You have to be well in order to do well in the classroom.
I could continue, but I need to go. Have a great day everyone. Let us all remember that we are part of the same world.
