The Joy in teaching...

"That man is truly humble who converts humiliation into humility..."

It's been one long day filled w/interesting things taking place. I had to skip skool this morning cuz I had an mri apt. Agh! Don't you hate going to places like the doctors, dentist, etc. etc. they give you an apt. time. So they expect you to be thurr at that time, cuz thas when the doc can see you. YOu get thurr and you end up having to wait for another like 20-30 min. until the docotor is ready to see you. ANyway, I had an mri apt. this morning at 1015am, then I didnt even get called in till like 1040am! I was having this interesting convo w/this older lady bout politics and current events. THough by the time I was ready to shurr my opinion she got called in. Agh!

Agh so I was taking all these mris and I had to sit still oh man it was killer. And these tests werent short either, I had to take one that was almost 12 min. long! I was feeling so impatient juss lying thurr, its not the most comfortable position to be in. So that took most of the afternoon, I got out at like 1230pm. Went to work having all this anxiety bout wha was gonna happen. My boss comes and I ended up putting him in a badmood. Wha was I suppose to do though? Compromise my health for my work? cmon now! He told me I had to come back at 2 and wait for my director to come. I go back at 2 still feeling all this anxiety and he was a lot more compassionatite and understanding then my supervisor. Big relief! PRaise God!

PIcked up one of my kids from skool, picked him up something to eat. YOu know, in all my yurrs living in bPc, I never went to that a & w place. It always looks dirty and closed, so went thurr to get something to eat. Afterwurrds went to mass at 515pm, Fr. Paul was kinda upset w/me. I forgot to put the ciborium on the altar to be consecrated. So we had a whole bunch of unconsecrated hosts. Ha I left right after mass, so he wouldnt yell at me. I'll wait till things cool down a bit before I talk to him again.

I had this really fun convo w/one of my other kids today. IT went something like this...
PoGiBaNgKoo: well u should watch other confermation classes
PoGiBaNgKoo: the other ppl are like read this paper they gave us
JPFish187: wha you mean
JPFish187: you mean the other classes
PoGiBaNgKoo: they dont do anything
JPFish187: well is that wha you want to do?/
PoGiBaNgKoo: wat we do is fun
PoGiBaNgKoo: we have to sing roll over the ocean
PoGiBaNgKoo: roll over the sea
PoGiBaNgKoo: thats the best song
JPFish187: hahahah

Stuff like this that makes teaching confirmation fun. So I had them post some comments on my blog on wha they thought of the whole making out topic. This is wha some of them responded with...

Making out is such a good topic to talk bout but anyways i think that this whole making out ting has just opened my eyes. guys usually dont stop until the girl says stop so its kinda on the girls to say no but then if your a guy you should also be able to say no but w/e i mean whenever i see other ppl making out it's like you pop into the back of my mind nice good job now i'm going to see your lil head whenever making out comes out. thanks;) hehe j/k but really this topic could go on forever. so i just gotta say if your going to do it just tink you have to go up to father and tell him what you've done i dunno bout you but for me that would be hard.

this is a really interesting topic to me. i like topics like this. kissing among teens nowadays is very common and it is so easy to get tempted in to. kisses are pleasure to some people but i think it should be more. i think it should show more of love and compasion. it should be special for the two people who do it together. it is very hard to know if the person is the right person to kiss. it is pretty scary to think that whenever ur about to kiss that u should think of ur parents approving of that kiss..as if they were actually there witnessing it. but whatever helps a person to stop themselves from making out, then they should go with the advice. i'm glad to know this information. i will be more cautious n think of the lord before i choose or not to choose to sin.

Reading stuff like that inspires me to want to do errthang I can to get them to become saints. Sometimes, I feel like all they do is talk in class, and it can be so frustrating, but I know God is working in them. Im sure many of you can attest to this, when seeing your students truly understand the lesson. Then they take that lesson and shurr it w/others and that flower( yeah it may sound gay) slowly sturts to bloom. Praise God that he gives me patience, even though I feel like juss blowing up at times. Lettting go in May is gonna be real hard. Theyre not mine though, they were never really mine to begin with. They're God's and I give him all glory and thanks for bringing each one of them into my life.

So I found a new networking site called catholicconnect. com. Its similar to the whole myspace/friendster deal but its gurrd especially for catholics. All the questions are catholic based, like how often you go to mass? wha do you think of the upheavel in the church now? etc. etc. etc. Fred and jaymee are on thurr, my profile has a lot of incompletes cuz thurr was juss waay too many questions. Anyway, go and check it out if you can!

Praise God for vacation time! woOo!
