Just this guy who teaches and snarks and loves. Yup, that's me.

Love
is bigger
than anything
in its way

@tracynate I just finished his Ruthless Elimination of Hurry and was very pleased. Not a revolutionary set of ideas, but very engagingly presented.
How is this book so far?

[davidcosand @davidcosand]

@barttels2 @MedfordALERT They have a facility in Talent, also.

[davidcosand @davidcosand]

@MedfordALERT Any word on Debbie’s Diner and All RV Needs?

[davidcosand @davidcosand]

@donytop5 Yeah...but I usually add too much. Then I have to add vinegar to balance it out. But I usually add too much of THAT.
Then I just spend the rest of the evening glowering at the neighbors and remarking that modern television can’t compare with the excellence that was Sanford & Son.

@grayhavensmusic Your gorgeous cover of Blackbird is exactly what I needed to hear this morning. Thank you for your artistry.

[davidcosand @davidcosand]

@robinsloan I submit Agnes Obel's "Familiar" for your consideration.

[davidcosand @davidcosand]

@cynthiabond I am no more than thirty pages into Ruby and, already, I am breathless.
Your words make me want to write, to observe, to savor.
Thank you.

Walking through Annie Dillard’s found poetry for the first time (Mornings Like This) and I found this wonderful line:
“Give me time enough in this place
And I will surely make a beautiful thing.”

I kind of love that.

[davidcosand @davidcosand]

ME: I'm not a bad poet...

HAZEL: Sure ya are. All poets are bad poets. It'll give you something to be appreciated for after you die.

My wife, the encourager.

[davidcosand @davidcosand]

Something of which I need reminding...
“Sacrifice and commitment always travel with love and action. Love looks like showing up with hands to help even when we don’t know what to do...Simply put, love doesn’t just think about it; love does it.”
Thanks, @bobgoff

THIRD GRADER: “Cosand...”

ME: “Yes?”

THIRD GRADER: “I don’t think you have enough hair to qualify as a mammal.”

@ryansmusic Promptly respond to every question @ryansmusic throws our way...
How'm I doing so far??

[davidcosand @davidcosand]

@LParisi Glaringly un-retired and still living in Southern Or-a-gun, but enjoying life very much.
I'm grateful for the many ways you helped me to be a better teacher.

[davidcosand @davidcosand]

@LParisi Oh, Lisa...it's very nice to see your face pop up in my timeline. I hope you and Frank are doing exceedingly well. Happy new year!

@ericmetaxas This line has been reverberating in me all morning: "Wilberforce knew that taking everything he had been given and using it to improve the lives of others was the very reason he had been born.
As a father and teacher, THIS is what I want to model: sacrifice as love.

[davidcosand @davidcosand]

@AmIshoBaraka @WaterBrookPress As a teacher who is also married to a librarian, I love this tweet. Your voice is SO needed, sir. Preach!

[davidcosand @davidcosand]

3RD GRADER: Cosand. I feel like I could fire a cannonball into a hippo's mouth.

ME: Got big plans for the weekend?

3RD GRADER: You never know...

[davidcosand @davidcosand]

I admire a willingness to work hard to achieve a goal.

Like when my 3rd grade student just asked, “Can I go try to go poop?”

Reach for the stars, kid.

@Target, I am blown away by the rudeness of your Medford, Oregon pick-up counter teammember. What should have been a simple and convenient purchase became an embarrassing failure. I won't be back.

[davidcosand @davidcosand]

@audreyassad I listened to your @reversepodcast interview from a few years ago, and it spoke to me in a powerful way of how we sometimes write what we can't yet understand. Your song Good To Me has been on repeat since.
Thank you.
