Why getting Wet is better than being Dry
You'd probably answer, like me, NEITHER! There are terrible things about both. Floods and droughts are dangerous, destructive and difficult. The human body is 60% water and human blood is 92% water. We must have water to live, without it we will die. The Bible says in Psalm 32:4 "For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah." The psalmist sounds like he's in a desperate place. I've lived through droughts, physical and spiritual. I hate the "dry" feeling, swiveled up without any liquid in my veins, dehydrated. Do you remember a drought in your life?
I've been in some flash floods and seen some rising water on tv. The thing about a flood is you can get out of its way, move to higher ground or get in a boat. As I listen to Holy Spirit Rain Down, I don't want the raining down of his Holy Spirit to stop! It's such a sweet Presence like a cool glass of water when you're parched and thirsty. Isn't it amazing that we can't produce water? God has to provide it or we don't get it. Water cleanses, refreshes and satisfies just like the Holy Spirit. We should be begging for it to rain down on us and in us and never stop!
Let's close up our umbrellas we're shielding ourselves with and let His Holiness rain down! Think about this...the surest place to get rained on is inside the house, His House, the church.
Praying for rain,
Tammy

5 Ways to Encourage Special Education Students
Okay, okay I'll admit it! I have a beautiful family
I never anticipated our daughters
Sydnee (the bride) and Sloane (maid of honor)
to be teachers.
Steve and I are so proud of them!
Sydnee was an undecided senior in high school
taking the same class with a young man
who suffered a tragic accident
leaving him profoundly paralyzed.
She believes God used this experience to mold
her future as a Special Education teacher.
Sydnee has a big heart for her students!
Recently, she was challenged to find a learning environment
for one of her classes.
Should this be her job? Not sure.
She rose to the challenge but not without challenges.
See these boxes
they all had to be moved
by me
using these
Sydnee is expecting my first grandchild
everyone else was busy...figures.
We got the job done though...
here's the room conducive to learning
storage room now classroom
storage room now classroom
Finally, I was/am impressed with Sydnee's philosophies
which is the subject of this post
1. Have the same goal for all your students
2. Understand your students but don't be easy on them
3. Make reminder rules visible so your students know them
4. Provide a welcome learning environment that is not "different" from other classrooms.
5. Treat your students like all other kids.
Take it from me, "The Happy Handicap" we don't want things easy or treated differently!
Please share your ways to encourage special education students by leaving a comment.
Always Encouraged,
Tammy

3 Surprising Things about Skin Cancer
My husband Steve visited his dermatologist today
for a suspicious-looking spot on his head
 |
| ugly, huh? What you can't see are the 3 "horns" he calls them .JPG) |
This is Steve
acting silly
Here's the surprising stuff:
1. The large brown spot is benign. The doctor explained if it's uniform in shape, it's usually not cancer or pre-cancer.
2. The "horn's" which you can't see are pre-cancer. Pre-cancerous spots produces something that
feels similar to a briar in your skin.
3. Pre-cancerous spots are usually rough to the touch. Your skin may not appear too disturbing
but if it's unusually rough, have it checked.
Steve had one benign spot and four pre-cancerous patches
just as described above,
the ones that needed treated felt like briars or scaly skin
before treatment & after treatment
Watching the doc spray burn his poor head was painful for me!
I can't imagine how he felt!
precious baby
Steve asked the doc "What if I start crying?"
She replied "I'll cry with you. I'm a good cry buddy!"
sweet, sweet lady
Is it just me?
or
did that suspicious spot move backwards?
Please protect your skin with sun block and clothing.
if you see a suspicious spot, prickly or scaly skin
have it checked
prevention is one of the best medicines!
looking for suspicious stuff,
Tammy
