Currently I'm in my Junior year at Moody Bible Institute in downtown Chicago. I am finishing up my degree in Elementary Education. The program is pretty much the hardest elementary ed program you could imagine, but I love it a lot because it's the only place I know of that you can be a Bible and El Ed major at the same time. We work really hard to that end, but it is very cool to be some of the first people to learn an integrative philosophy of Christian education. I can't wait to start practicing all this; and the countdown is on, because in a little over a year I will be doing full time student teaching.

Sorry if I have offended anyone with the ummm scandalous picture, but as an academic professional I had to study educational theory and method in different cultural contexts. What I mean to say is that maybe Americans can learn something from our brothers and sisters accross the sea about how to teach the young ones. Here is my thesis: it is a good idea to teach children (young children) about art using nude models. Anyways, as I recieved complaints about not explaining my pictures last time, this is a picture I took at Versaille of an actual school group that they seated around this nude statue.
Well, life in Arizona is slow but very relaxing. Today I am going over to the grandparents to eat brisket and watch fireworks from the roof. On friday, one of my two best friends (Jenni Andsager) got engaged to one of my brothers two best friends (John Gittus), and they are getting married on March 10 (the day before Paul and I's birthday). Tommorow I am going with Jenni to help her start finding her wedding dress (will it be fun?). I am working at Kid's Club early mornings with a group of first graders and it is almost all boys. It is a lot of work, but I love the girls who are working with me in my room, so time is going by quickly, and I know I will be back in Chicago for my final semester very soon.
Well, I hope everyone has an awesome 4th, and Caleb and Lauri I am looking forward to hanging out with you two next week when you get here.

Wow, I mean, wow. I was going to somehow chasten you because of the picture. I'm still not quite sure about your choice of pictures but I do feel quite honored to merit a place on your blog. I am glad that we'll get to see you.

Oh, man! Sorry, I don't know what's up. I thought it told me it didn't work, so I tried again, and then it showed up twice! Oops.

Ah! Now I understand what I did wrong. When I was a substitute teacher for art, I left the model clothed and had the kids all get naked. I suppose it is best that I not become a teacher, huh?
