From time to time, I will post funny things my students have said.
"Miss Fergie, I need your help." Yes, a student actually called me Miss Fergie, as in Fergalicious.
"Miss, I've been trying to get into this story, but I can't." (It's not a story, it's a sermon.) "So that's why the main character is God.I've seen his name like 30 times."
"Miss, she love him like CANDY." -Response to Puritan poetry about a wife's love for her husband.
Teacher: I realize some of you have issues you'd like to discuss with me. If you have beef about your progress report, raise your hand, and I'll call you over to my desk to discuss."
Student: Beef? I got two pounds of beef with you.
Teacher: Draw two illustrations of imagery from your chart on Sinners in the hands of an Angry God.
Student: Is it okay to draw Satan looking like a girl from my first period? She wants to steal my boyfriend, so she's the devil.

Woops
Remember that time I thought, "Oh, yeah! I'll have plenty of time to blog once I'm teaching. And life will be so interest that everyone will want to read it."
My b.
Sorry I haven't blogged. It is not because things haven't happened. They have. Probably too many. In efforts to make up for my lack of posts, I shall try to compile a list of the highlights of the last three weeks.
1. My students are wonderful. All of them. I tell them all the time, "You are not my children, but you are my babies." I'm so proud of them. Everyday I come home and tell stories of what they did today.
2. Teaching is alot of work. The best work in the world. Why anyone has any other job, I have no idea. It's wonderful.
3. I joined a church.Houston's First BC. The Lord has answered so many questions by leading us roommates here. There is community, cross-generational interaction, gospel-centered message, exegetical teaching. It is wonderful. If you are in Houston, call me up and I'll take you with me to church. Bless the Lord.
4. I am no longer a gypsy. Alicia, Lauren and I got a house at the beginning of the month. We are moderately settled in (Things just move slower when you have adult lives). My stuff will be coming shortly!
5. I'm a bit sick. Sore throat, runny nose. Nothing that can't be overcome. But, should you read this, prayers would be appreciated.
