Finally, some people making more than a million dollars are speaking up and saying they are willing to pay more taxes! See the article about their trip to Washington here:

A time of transition.
Our church recently lost its Pastor. There wasn't a scandal, there wasn't major chaos...in the end after all of it was said and done, it was just time to move on. Some people have left, some are thinking of leaving and some, like myself and my husband, realize that the Church is the living entity that we want to belong to. We can't go following Pastors or hoping that the grass will be greener. We must make our grass as green as we can while we are called as member of our Church. So we had a guest Pastor yesterday, that could be our Intentional Interim Pastor. In other words, this is what he does. He helps Churches figure out who they are and where they are going in order for them to find the right Pastor. It was an exciting service and meeting afterward. My dear hubby was very patient with the hour and a half length of the meeting (I'm sure he was itching to get out of there and get things done at home!)
Well anyway, during this time of transition, my Bible study is doing a crash course on Psalms and the subject of tonight's session is on Renewal. I find this a very appropriate topic in regards to the Church and also to things in my life. I was not hurt by the transition at Church. If anything, it made me a stronger, more active member. I would rather get involved and help mold the Church into what God wants it to be, than turn away from it and from a group of people that I have grown to care about. I am not close to many of the women my age in Church, but to the women of the generation before me, who are some of the most wonderful, caring and intelligent women I've had the pleasure of knowing!
Anyway, I have been hurt by some events with friends over the past year. And unfortunately, it has been compounded by someone who I considered to be my dearest friend, deciding that this past year would be a good year for her to distance herself from me and essentially end the friendship. She has done this for reasons that she hasn't expressed to me. And now she is engaged, and I can't even share in her happiness. And I probably won't be there to see her promise her life to her fiance before God. And it makes me sad. And I miss my friend.
So as this time of transition continues, I have to find the courage to not run away and face this issue. I am hoping there will be renewal and healing as I've seen slowly happening in my Church. It is amazing how events in your life sync together for God's purpose.

A little perfect timing...
So after my post yesterday, and Bible study that went right along with that post last night, I come along this blog that hits the nail exactly on the head...http://www.purposefulhomemaker.com/
Gee, God loves divine appointments and giving us signs....we just have to keep our eyes open!

Being quiet and thanking God
I've started a Bible study this week on Psalms. The first week's lesson in on being silent before God. listening to Him and then thanking Him for all of the blessing you've received even if you are going through storms in life. I have slowly gotten into the habit of talking at God and not talking with Him. This has led to lukewarm prayer times and a feeling of disconnectedness. So last night after I completed my Bible study, cuddled with hubby during T.V. time, gotten some chores done and was finally in bed, I said the Our Father as always and then I quieted my mind, shut my mouth and sat still and quiet before God. It was hard to do but I realized I'd been waiting for God's plans for me, without listening for them. Well. how can He tell me his plans if I'm not listening?
So I waited....and it wasn't long before God talked to me--with passion, with conviction, without condemnation but He definitely schooled me. I listened, I heard, I realized what I was totally unaware of. I was not being totally honest with Him or with myself. I said, I will follow your plans....but I wasn't giving everything over to Him. I handed him my career, but not my marriage...not like I should. I handed him my Church life, but not my life with family and friends. And it's not like I actually controlled this stuff either. I'm the go along type. I go along with life and live it. I don't think about it, I don't consciously change anything. I just live. So sometimes listening to God opens up a whole can of worms. It gives us much to think about. It reminds us that He cares and listens to everything even when we don't think He is. We just need to give Him a chance to talk too. So I feel asleep listening to God and not talking at Him but responding to Him.
Then I woke up, and instead of complaining that it was Monday (a little storm but one we all face every week), I thanked Him. It started my day off on a better foot. And when I realized I'd overslept by ten minutes, I wasn't angry. I just said, Oh well, shorter shower. And I went on my way. Thanking God this morning helped me focus on the positives in life and not the tiny minuscule negative things I face. Go figure.

The state of teaching in the United States
I have not written a blog in quite a while. Life has been busy and I always say to myself..."I should blog about that..." and then life gets in the way.
But here I am with some down time and I haven't wanted to blog about teaching in this country for a while so here goes...
I read an article today about the legislative changes that have taken place in many of the States in our country. From losing collective bargaining rights, to changes in tenure teachers are being punished and hurt all over our country. Some of the states that are making changes are not known for their quality school districts as it is, and being a teacher, I can tell you, by making changes that hurt the teaching profession they will lost quality teachers.
The States that are going to do well in this day are the States that say "Yes we value what good quality teachers bring to our schools." The States that recognize teaching as a difficult, challenging and deserving profession. In the present day more and more States are requiring teachers to obtain higher level degrees (Master's, CAGS, and PHDs) and yet teachers often do not receive much in return. I read a statistic (and I'm not quoting so my wording and exact data may be wrong but...) that said something like, "15 years ago, an entry level teacher and an entry level associate at a law firm (read law degree passed the bar...) made the same amount of money. Now teachers make something like 75% of what the associate makes."
We are constantly being devalued by society and we are constantly being asked to provded more and more services for our students. This must stop if the state of education and the teaching profession want to find the same page in the book and help our students succeed. We must acknowledge that teachers are where our students find their inspiration, education, courage and drive. And we must realize that a standardized test is a horrible way to tell if a teacher is doing a good job or not.
Many students come from borken homes, homes with addiction, abuse, violence, busy parents, parents that don't care, and parents that aren't there. Couple that with increasing loosening of morals, higher unemployment and poverty, more gang violence, more chances for kids to be exposed to drugs, alcohol and sex at an early age, less money in the school systems, less afterschool programs to serve more kids and many other problems we are facing in this modern age.....and we wonder why our state of education is in such disarray....and we blame the teachers.
If we want to compare ourselves to other countries, we must not only look at student achievement (or lack thereof) but also look at poverty, crime, unemployment, social services, marriage rates, etc.... If these are equal with ours, then yes, we need to fix the educational system...if they aren't....then we can't blame the educational system for society's flaws...it isn't right. Public schools worked for MILLIONS of Americans. We all turned out better than fine. We can't blame the public school system when things haven't changed within it when we all received a quality education. Has technology improved? Yes, and public schools have added technology. Has history changed? Yes, and public schools have updated their text books and curriculums. Do students learn differently? Well they always did and now we are recognizing that more and more and making the changes we need to make.
So why is public education and subsequently, it's educators being blamed for all of the problems we face today? Well we need a scapegoat....why not blame the group that some say has the most influence over our students today? Because that group, that is made up of dedicated, hardworking, well-educated people will walk away. Not because they want to, because trust me, I will never be happy if I'm not teaching, but because government forced their hand. People will move to States who support educators, they will move to countries who will pay them well to teach in their American and Private Schools, they will retired instead of teaching an extra 5-10 years, they will find some other profession. It will happen if we do not recognize how important our teachers are. We must--or the state of our educational system will falter and fall apart.

Pride-I hate it.
There aren't many things I hate in life...but I sure hate pride.
Here is the background on how pride snuck up on me tonight:
My dear friend's baby shower is tomorrow, and I love her and her husband very much. And I love their baby girl already, even though I haven't met her yet! And I am so excited! I love blessing the people that I love! Especially the selfless, caring, sweet, wonderful people that I know! So I finish wrapping her present tonight when I get home from going out for another one of my dear friend's birthdays (busy weekend!)
Anyway, this will not come as a surprise to those who know me, but I put together a basket for her. I love making baskets! They are so pretty and so personal because you can really put thought into what you get for someone! I have made wine baskets and "kitchen" baskets for wedding showers, a "honeymoon survival" basket for a friend (that honeymoon weekend made a baby! hehe) and I have made baby gift baskets before. Its fun for me, and I really love and enjoys watching my friends and family opening them and enjoying their gifts...and I love knowing that what is in the baskets are useful gifts. It is a way that I show my love. But I don't do it with pride, I do it with all of the love in my heart...
Now back to the basket I made. As I sat there yesterday and put all of the gifts that I picked out thoughtfully into the pretty little basket lined with pink gingham...I thought of this couple at Church. Now, we all have them...we loath ourselves for loathing them...but we have them...those people in our lives that we secrectly compete with and secretly feel contempt for. There may be no reason for it, they may not even know you exist...but they do exist and for some reason, you feel that you must compete with them...even if you don't talk to them, or know much about them...there they are...
So I have this couple...and I'm wrapping my dear friend's gift...and I think to myself...I hope my gift is better than hers...and this is horrible...I am not this person...I hate this part of my person...and then I think...well it has to be prettier--because its a basket...ugh...and I pray. "God, please stop the pride. I do not want to be prideful" These people don't even know I exist (by the way, I don't think my husband 'competes' with them...just I do). These people have their own life, and family and careers and everything else. This is my battle and my struggle.
And even as I sit here, I hate myself for it. And I'm disgusted with those thoughts...and I have no idea how to get rid of them. So tomorrow, I will still probably feel it. And I'll gloat if my gift is prettier and better...and if it isn't...I don't know what...I'm competing with a person that doesn't even have me on her radar...and what's more? Its not like she is richer, or prettier, or further ahead in her career....and the things she has...I don't want....her husband isn't more successful or better looking or any nicer than mine, and yes, she has kids, but instead of focusing on having a family I got my Master's degree, because I knew I didn't want to do it in the opposite order (I don't have 'insane' stamped on my forehead). I'm totally happy with my life, I know that God has blessed me and even just tonight I was telling my husband that I had everything I wanted and I was completely happy with out lot in life....so why do I feel these pangs of jealously and this awful retched feeling towards this poor woman?
And the only answer I have is....the devil made me do it...do I give him too much credit? Maybe...but since there is no logical reason...and I know that I should be happy for this couple...that is my only explanation for it...so tomorrow...who knows if this pride with turn me into the vain, competitive, snot that I am right...but I hope not...I hope the hour and a half of prayer and worship before the baby shower will do me some good and snuff this out. Here goes nothing!
Oh and here is the basket I made...just cause its pretty!

Cookies!
I love sweets...I crave them every now and then and I need something that is rich and decadent when I crave sweets....if I crave a cookie, I want a hearty, rich, decadent cookie...so tonight, I realized that I had purchased sugar free chocolate chips and I didn't want to wait until Saturday to use them in chocolate chip pancakes, so I decided to make cookies. But when you are trying to eat healthy and lose weight, cookies don't really fit in when they are in their "traditional form." I did a little internet hunting and decided to go to Bethenny Frankel's website to look for a recipe, because lets face it, I think she's awesome.
So I found this yummy recipe for your enjoyment! Its good if you like the taste of banana because you can taste it...however, there are no eggs or oils or butter but the cookie is still rich and satisfying! Oh and they are EASY and quick!
Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
3/4 cups rolled oats
1/2 teaspoon baking powder1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup raw sugar
1/3 cup chocolate chips
1 teaspoon canola oil1/3 cup soy milk (I used skim milk)
1/2 banana puree (1 medium-size banana)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
2. Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl.
3. Combine all the wet ingredients in a separate bowl. Mix the dry and wet ingredients together, until well combined.
4. Use a medium-size ice cream scoop or a large spoon to scopp batter onto a cookie sheet covered with wax paper. (I made some with an ice cream scoop and cut the other half of the batch in half to create smaller cookies) (I also found that I needed to flatten the cookies down, but I didn't puree the banana, I just mashed it a bit).
So enjoy a healthy, yummy cookie that tastes like something real!

Life is quiet in the snowy Northeast!
So life has been very quiet up here in New England. We've had MANY snow days and I have not worked a full week since before Christmas break! Given that we have all been home bound, not much has happened.
I did finally give in to the snow and get a new vehicle! I went from a little Ford Focus (which I did love) to a great Rav4!!!! I now have four doors, a trunk that is twice the size, four wheel drive and traction control!!! It has made this weather much more bearable and my husband likes me having a "real" vehicle!
Being stuck in the house has also given me time to find lots of interesting things online...so here is a site I found that offers AWESOME savings on outdoor products...http://www.theclymb.com/invite-from/rachel03rwu
The Clymb has great sales on items from companies like Merrill and Stanley at huge savings! If you use the above link and order something I get $10 credit! Then repost your own link on Facebook or on your blog and see who orders using that link so you can get $10 credit too!!!!
Anyway, I will try and blog more as the weather (hopefully) warms up--39 degrees next week yay!!!!
