Things I don't trust: wooden bridges, unloaded guns and men. Things I do trust: God and Adrian Beltre. Texas Rangers. P1.Brand Family. Mavs (1980-Feb. 1, 2025).
@McJuggerNuggets Did you and your wife ever consider adoption? If you didn’t feel you could handle the responsibility of a special needs child, there are thousands of couples who would’ve welcomed this beautiful gift into their lives.
When I was five years old, a Saint Bernard bit the side of my face/head requiring 42 stitches and almost got my eye. My family often visited the farm where he lived (we bought our eggs there) and I always played with him. This time he played a little too rough. If he were really trying to harm me, he could’ve easily killed me. I tend to agree with those who are saying the dog in this video was just being playful. But it doesn’t reduce the owner’s liability.
With this being National Dairy Month and me being the head of the Indiana State Department of Agriculture, I feel it's my duty to point out to Wisconsin Democrats that the "cows" they used in their post are, in fact, bulls:
Hills I will die on as an elementary school teacher, who just wrapped up my 32nd year teaching!
1. If you are not PASSIONATE about blessing, serving, and empowering those you are blessed to teach, this profession is not for you.
2. Our students are not “ours”. They are their families, and we need to understand the magnitude of the calling, and responsibility we have to meet them where they are, and to help them to get to a place that they never thought possible.
3. As important as the curriculum is (and it IS important), the children in our classroom are what matter most. It’s our JOB to teach the curriculum to SERVE our students, NOT to use our students to push any sort of agenda.
4. Just as we teach our students to “leave things better than they found them”, we need to leave our students better than they were when they first entered into our classroom. Never let a day pass without pouring into each and every child.
5. We should not teach our children WHAT to think, but HOW to think, and how to use that knowledge to bless and serve not only themselves, but the world around them.
6. Our words carry little (or NO value), if we do not practice what we preach.
7. If we don’t make learning fun, children will view learning as a chore, and we we will be creating a generation of children who grow up to be young adults who don’t see the joy in learning new things.
8. The child that may be “difficult to reach/teach” (the one who may get on your last nerve more than you could ever imagine), is someone’s EVERYTHING. Get to know them as human beings, find out what motivates them, and do everything you can to help them to thrive.
9. Never tell a child they “can’t” do something. God has blessed each of them with far more strengths and talents than we may know, and it’s not our job to tell them what they can’t do, but to help them to realize all the things they CAN do.
10. The legacy you leave as a teacher will never be determined by your student’s test scores, but by the human beings you helped them become throughout their lives.
Appreciate the concerns from those that watched Cirque last night. Appendicitis confirmed. Surgery shortly. Doc said best thing friends can do is get our YouTube subbies over 5k.
The Mavericks received the following for Jalen Brunson and Luka Doncic leaving:
Brunson: Nothing
Doncic: Anthony Davis, Max Christie, 2029 unprotected 1st (via Lakers)
Two colossal mistakes that will haunt the franchise for years to come.
Donnie Nelson was well ahead of the curve. He drafted Luka and Brunson in 2018, then traded for Kristaps, an elite stretch big. Something that has become a necessity for building a modern championship team.
The reality is that Mark Cuban wasn’t patient enough and never should have ended the Donnie and Carlisle era.
