"They say you should find a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life. I have the best seat in the house watching our Kids Grow In Faith. After 34+ years in the field of Education, I decided to swap lesson plans for parables and have not looked back since!!
If you want to chat, my door is always open and the coffee is usually brewing!! So Come On In!!
