Today is the day that all my colleagues have been waiting for - the last day before Spring Break! Spring Break is always an important time for public school teachers. February and March are usually long stretches where there are no holidays or workdays. The kids are tired of school and wishing it would end. Eventually we tachers all get tired of fighting the battle and we begin to long for break to arrive. Hope and excitement are in the air today because we all know that tomorrow begins Spring Break - 1 week away from school to recharge and hopefully come back to finish strong.
Today is an special day for more important reasons. It's Maundy Thursday. Tonight is the night that Jesus celebrated his last Passover with the Disciples. It's the night that Judas betrayed him with a kiss and the guards arrested him. It began the countdown of the final stages of his earthly ministry - his crucifixion and death that paid for our sins and his resurrection that gives us the promise of eternal life. There is hope and excitement in the air because we are on the backside of the resurrection event. We can say with assurance that no matter how bad it gets, we can hold onto the promise of eternal life in heaven.
What a great day this is gonna be . . .

We have off until next Friday at IWU. My second class begins and I will have three weeks of double exposure! Might have to call you to preach...at least my funeral.
Had a chance to substitute at Wayne Community College for two nights. That was a great experience.
Blessings.
