@mrbadura We love ours for many things but one of our favorites is roasted veggies. Doesn’t heat up the house like the oven. We have a Ninja Foodi Air Fry Oven and it serves as our toaster as well!

I was thinking this morning how we’re all disciples of someone. Of some entity. Some doctrine. I was thinking how quickly you can tell these days which news networks we’re discipled by. I’m not just talking about one in particular. Take your pick. We the people have become we the parrots. No nuance. No critical thinking. No inconvenient listening. No attempts to understand other views. Just parrots.

We have chosen the narrow way alright. Just not the narrow way Jesus meant. His narrow way opens wide our heart’s capacity to love (even our enemies!) and our mind’s capacity to consider others as more important than ourselves. If we hate more people and spew more derision than we did 5 years ago, we may believe in Jesus but make no mistake. We are not his disciples.

We have to stop being the gate keepers of grade level text for students. We have to start giving kids access to grade level text and as a teacher be the differentiation that supports students with what they need. -Dr. young #nsla22 @NebraskaReads
