The incredible music and light show at the inauguration of the Sagrada Família’s Tower of Jesus Christ.
The Escolanía, the oldest boys choir in the world, performed live.
@CrenshawPhD I set up two people who eventually got married. Here was my philosophy - you are both good, Christian people. It might not work out, but it’s not going to be ugly. I figured they would figure it out for themselves.
@drantbradley The most concerning aspect of AI and cheating is that it is morally devastating long term for families and communities and employers. "We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst." CS Lewis
@KSPrior Great article. Also - you always look fabulous. On a side note - I have taught high school for 25 years. Fashion trends are for the masses and not good for 85% of people. I want to start a movement- “dress for you, not for them. Finding what fits and looks good on YOU!”
Reminder: Believers are supposed to bear witness of what should, could, and inevitably will be. We cannot do that when we are part of or complicit in what is.
When our product and witness is identical to Caesar’s … we haven’t demonstrated Christ.
@JustinEGiboney The point is to realize what happiness and joy are and where they come from. Our Children are discipled into thinking happiness comes from material possessions and self-fulfillment, faith offers a different definition. Faith teaches us how to live life well in community.
@BenSasse@ChrisStirewalt my new favorite phrase as a parent is “crush the suck”. I’m indebted to you for this wisdom, but my kids might have other thoughts.
@drantbradley@CharlesOCasey Our accountability is based on graduation rate. It's not just schools, College Board has lowered standards because kids won't pay for a test that 50% don't pass. Kids are choosing not to drive because they either don't want the responsibility or they want to be free to scroll.
@drantbradley Yes. Not far from Harrodsburg KY you can visit many of their restored building and hear about their way of life. They have converted a building into a hotel and have a restaurant. They own extensive land so there is a lot of hiking as well.
@drantbradley We also act like the only purpose of an education is to impart knowledge. There is so much more that goes on in a school with actual teachers.
@drantbradley Schools are heavily penalized if kids don’t graduate. So anything and everything is done to graduate them. Kids know this. It hurts the school more to not graduate a kid than the student.
@courtneyellis I love opening up the ap in the morning and just listening and seeing which birds it picks up. Fun also when I visit my mom and hear the different birds in the mountains of North Carolina.
@stevemagness Yes. I love my job and am good at it. But my dissatisfaction with my job is mainly due to the disrespect given the profession. We are constantly blamed for societal ills by people who have no idea what is actually happening in the typical American high school.
@MrDanielBuck@maze_sarayn That's the shift in the past few years. Admins had to start investigating and not just accepting the word of the teacher. Now the teacher has to offer proof that what they said happened happened.
