The Lord made us for the joy of Heaven. Our life is not a meaningless journey, but a project of love. Life is a pilgrimage that leads us, day by day, to the encounter with Him and to the endless joy that He has prepared for us.
I used to joke with my staff when they knocked on my door, to ask if I had a second, that my problem bin was full. This was a lighthearted way of reminding them that not every problem had to be brought to me to solve. So we started focusing on solution sessions where my team knew when they brought problems, they had to come with a few ways to solve it and together we would pick the best one for them.
So for today—as you think about issues, bring some ideas too!

If we do not invest in our teachers and our schools, we have failed our children. We have been gaslighting teachers far too long telling them to "Do it for the children."
