I am back

I have not written an update for my blog in a long time. I am in the last semester of classes before I begin student teaching. I hope to be writing at least once or twice a week now. The class schedule for the fall is a lot less hectic than the summer was. Tomorrow will be September 1st. It is hard to believe that summer is almost over and that autumn is right around the corner. It does not seem like summer ever came in my state because of the colder summer that we have had. We had about one week of 90 degree weather and that is it. The rest of the summer was cold and rainy for the most part.
One thing that I have noticed over the last few months is the general tone of some people. I have noticed that when people have discussions (myself included) is that you have to be careful who you disagree with or they get really mad. What happened to having civil discussions? Why can't people disagree and not get personal? Does it really upset you that someone believes differently than you do ? We are all human beings and we are all bound to have differing views on all topics. Do we want to surround ourselves with people that just think like us or could we learn something from an opposing view? I am always open to learning new things and ideas. I may not agree with them, but if learning takes place then I think something good is accomplished. My main point here is human decency toward your fellow man. Jesus said it best "Treat others as you wish be treated".
