Well, that should cover just about everyone … Here’s a long over-due shout-out to those in education … often, the most under-rated … under-appreciated … yet, most influential people in our lives … our teachers …
I am reminded how often Jesus was referred to as “Teacher,” and, from the first message I ever preached, I used the text from John, chapter 3, when Nicodemus came to Jesus by night … Nicodemus began his questions with, “Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher … “
So many in my family are currently, or have been, teachers …
Here are a couple of special videos for you all, from fellow teacher, fellow author, and fellow poet Taylor Mali. Please enjoy them in the spirit in which they are intended:

Yes! Teachers make a difference in more lives than they will ever know! …and they do it every time they take a moment to listen to a story they don’t really have time for, stop to teach a student to be polite, ask children to “talk things out together,” and keep a watchful eye on the student who rarely has a smile, needs a snack, or a pat on the back. Some students get under your skin, but you still do everything in your power to help him/her succeed. The saying “it takes a village to raise a child” is very true, thank goodness we have fellow teachers to rely on…because we can all relate!
