Free Stuff
Wow! I do not know anyone who would not want somethings that they desire in the classroom for learning or elsewhere that is free. Many times we here people say there are resources available but people need to tap into them. Well during an assignment for a college class, I had to explore one of thetop ten tips for teaching with new media. Well, the tip I decided to explore was find what you need. This information was very useful since teachers, coaches, and others are always trying to gather needed materials to help with supplies and furnishing without going into their pockets all the time. There was several suggested sites that offered a variety of ways to get donors and sponsors for several free items. Several of the sites that were viewed are www.donorschoose.org, www.scrapaction.org, www.freecycle.org, www.supplyyourschools.org, www.iloveschools.com, and more. If this information is beneficial, please use it and let me know.

Trust Who?
Often times we wonder why we go through things in life. How long will this season of trouble last? How much can I endure? And many many more questions.
Often times we are given the answer to our questions although we may not like the answer. Sometimes the answer is yes. Sometimes, it is no. Sometimes it is wait for a minute. Sometimes it is one of the above with specifics. Do you take that answer and accept it when given or do you continue to ponder and justified to arrive at the answer you want.
Often times we have short patience with others and never want to forgive them and make them pay for mistakes and miscommunications for life. But on the other hand, do you expect them to forgive you quickly when you have done wrong towards them. Moreover, do you expect God to grant grace and mercy daily, and forgive you instantly everytime you do wrong.
Life does offer trials and tribulations that do not last forever but at times it seems like it. God answers everyone of our questions and prayers in ways that will help us to grow if we heed to lessons in the sunshine and rain. Yes, He does want us to be patience and loving to one and other as He is ever so loving and patient with us unconditionally. Therefore, when others let you down and you let others down, remember God always keeps his promises and you should not strive to please people, but please him daily and you will not fail.
