Joy to the World, the Lord has come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing.

Joy to the World, the Savior reigns!
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.

He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders, wonders, of His love.

Joy to the World, the Lord has come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing.

Teacher Transitions

Transitioning to my new career today, after nearly twenty years of teaching in the District system here in California, I am accepting the 'Golden Handshake," and retiring from one type of teaching to enter others. Exciting. Poignant. Lots and lots of kids will live in my heart and prayers.

Here is a 'Bravo' for all of us teachers being flexible, persistent, and caring in our relentless pursuit of helping kids learn.

Teaching is fun!

Let's keep it up! Be creative and flexible in your teaching options, lots of great things can happen! The kids need you!

Some appropriate music for the occasion. Truly I feel the Lord God Omnipotent got me to this day. The Hallelujah Chorus, by Handel:

And a music teacher joke:

Sign seen on teacher's door:

Gone Chopin. Be Bach in a minuet. Can you Handel waiting?

Catch you on the flip side.
