Like many of you, sometimes I wake up early and worry about all of the things that lie before me during the coming day. In reality, I think God is waking me up in order to have me pray about the day to come. Satan takes that early wake-up call […]
Data is Not Innovation
Gathering reams of student data is no longer innovation. Data mining of students is an unimaginative process which is embraced by far too many power-hungry educators and school boards who are looking for a quick hit of data dopamine. In fact, the process is IMHO destructive to the educational process. […]
New Ted Lasso Season 4 Trailer Has Dropped
Believe! Who could forget the famous sign above Ted Lasso’s door at AFC Richmond, the Jamie Tart cheer(set to Baby Shark), the Roy Kent “anthem”, and the story arc of a team, a father and son, and a city? Well, the season 4 trailer just dropped, and honestly it looks […]
Book Review: Do Not Leave Quietly by Mario Murillo
I learned of Mario Murillo several years ago from some friends on social media. I tend to take my time in deciding if pastors are legit. His teaching and doctrine are sound. I picked up his book Do Not Leave Quietly (2022). I was blown away with how good it […]
Do You Want to Return to This?

Demolishing Strongholds
I have been asked when I will go back to teaching in public schools. I hope I never have to go back. Why? It’s not because of kids and families. Serving them was the BEST part of my job. But I simply don’t have the stomach for the indoctrination, the […]

Isaiah 5
