Here I am, praising this glorious autumn day in my community of Tallahassee, Florida. Today, I accomplished the work of gardening, online writings, blog updating, participating in a conference, and taking ample time during and between these activities to send and receive text messages from my i335 Boost Mobile phone. Texting is valuable to me, and my favorite part of using a cell phone. Read Full Story

There is a hymn that starts out like this: “A grateful heart a garden is, where there is always room for every lovely Godlike grace to come to perfect bloom.” CS Hymnal. This morning, early, as I went into my backyard vegetable garden, outside of Tallahassee, Florida, I thought about the words of that spiritual song. I had a big, grateful heart. My heart was filled with gratitud for the beauty, and productivity of my garden, which has been blessing us with an abundant crop of pu... Read Full Story

I have been thinking about the word, “universe.” The “uni” part of that word inspires me. One universe only. Not two, or more. One verse provided. Therefore, universe inspires me with the idea of one Creator with one message. The message is in the universe. I have been contemplating what is that one verse in universe. Read Full Story

Yes, I teach a bunch of unteachable, unruly, discourteous middle school students in a Tallahassee, Leon County middle school. Those in my class who want to learn Spanish, can’t learn because of the disruptive ones which are about 90% of the classes I teach. You see, I have been all around the world, South American countries, Mexico, Germany, Italy, Spain, Canada, and other regions of the United States, and never have I seen or experienced what I am experiencing at a Spanish teacher in T...

I worked for about a year at an established pest control company in Tallahassee, called Florida Pest Control. I did a lot of tapping on peoples’ baseboards with the objective of inspecting for evidence of termites. We used a long screwdriver and tapped in all the rooms. Tap, tap, tap. Yes, I woke up sleeping household members, and babies and irritated dogs and cats. The interesting thing about this, is that there is an electronic device on the market that more effectively sounds out wh... Read Full Story

Hola amigos, y los de otras partes que no conozco. He decidido que voy a escribir solamente en el español y no más inglés. Enseño el español a muchos muchachos de Tallahassee. ¡La vida es diversa! A mí me gusta mucha la diversidad. Hay nuevas cosas que se pueden aprender, y conocer. Hay gente con sus historias que quiero conocer. Hay palabras y sus formas de usar que me caen bien. La vida es corta, no larga, pero voy a hacer todo lo que puedo, para darme la satisfacción de conocer lo más posi... Read Full Story
