The Real Lesson From Columbine

I wanted to share the words of Darrell Scott. He is the father of Rachel Scott, one of the students killed at Columbine High School. He is also the father of Craig, a survivor who watched his friends being murdered. COLUMBINE STUDENT'S FATHER 12 YEARS LATER!! Guess our national leaders didn't expect this. On Thursday, Darrell Scott, the father of Rachel Scott, a victim of the Columbine High School shootings in Littleton, Colorado, was invited to address the House Judiciary Committee's subcommittee. What he said to our national leaders during this special session of Congress was painfully truthful. They were not prepared for what he was to say, nor was it received well. It needs to be heard by every parent, every teacher, every politician, every sociologist, every psychologist, and every so-called expert! These courageous words spoken by Darrell Scott are powerful, penetrating, and deeply personal. There is no doubt that God sent this man as a voice crying in the wilderne...

Trick or Treat Song

This is something I made up for E and M this year. I sing it to the tune "The Ants Go Marching". Trick-or-Treat The pumpkins go rolling one by one, Hurrah! Hurrah! The pumpkins go rolling one by one, Hurrah! Hurrah! The pumpkins go rolling one by one, The little one stops, to look for the sun, And they all go rolling, Down the street, To go trick-or-treat. The witches go flying two by two, Hurrah! Hurrah! The witches go flying two by two, Hurrah! Hurrah! The witches go flying two by two, The little one stops, She lost her shoe. And they all go flying, Down the street, To go trick-or-treat. The skeletons go rattling three by three, Hurrah! Hurrah! The skeletons go rattling three by three, Hurrah! Hurrah! The skeletons go rattling three by three, The little one stops, He lost his knee, And they all go rattling, Down the street, To go trick-or-treat. The zombies go shuffling four by four, Hurrah! Hurrah! The zombies go shuffling four by fo...

Happy New Year! A Bit of History

The new year will be here soon. New Year's Eve and New Year's Day are celebrated in many countries all around the world. Many of the customs are a lot alike. In many places it is celebrated with fireworks, toasting, or kissing at the stroke of midnight when the new year starts. In many English speaking countries they sing "Auld Lang Syne." The oldest records of celebrating the new year came from ancient Babylon. They celebrated New Year's during the first new moon after the vernal equinox. The Babylonians also started the tradition of making New Year's resolutions. It was the Roman emperor, Julius Caesar, that changed New Year's Day to January 1st. They celebrated the Roman god, Janus. He was the Roman god of beginnings. He had two faces and could look into the past or into the future. They decorated their homes with laurel branches, had parties, and gave out presents. The Romans offered sacrifices to Janus. Sometimes they offered him cakes of new me...
