Tech disconnect: be smart with smartphones
Those who know me know that I am constantly on my phone. If my phone is not already in my hand, it is always within reach. I am always texting, texting, texting or scheduling and rescheduling my students' lessons or tutoring sessions on my calendar. Then there are the endless lists and memos that I constantly make and update. Oh and there's the sermon notes that I make every Sunday on my iPhone because my ...
Recycle those flip flops!
If you're like me, you have multiple pairs of flip flops and in all shades of colors. And why wouldn't you? Especially since Old Navy has them for $3.50 a pair or even better, two for $5.
The integrity of writing: Plagiarism is stealing, period
There is something to be said about the written word and the weight it carries. In academia, there are strict rules against cheating - on homework assignments, quizzes and tests.

You’ve got mail
I found out about the stamp ministry a year ago through my mother who started collecting and cutting out used stamps from every piece of mail that comes to the house. She puts them in this little clear plastic baggie that hangs on the side of the refrigerator on a magnet. She then told me that I should start cutting and collecting used stamps because it is so easy to do and serves a good cause.
