As an educator with two public blogs, private facebook page, and public twitter page, I spend some time every now and then thinking about what my digital footprint is and what it says about me. As of right now, I am deciding to maintain the public, non-protected status of my tweets and blog posts. Some educators might think this unwise. Some people don't even want a facebook page or anything publicly posted on the web because of the possible ramifications.
My decision is based on a desire to live transparently. In my personal and professional life, I seek to live with integrity of action, speech and thought. Therefore, nothing I post online should be surprising to the people I work with. I would love it if people could come visit my classroom in real life and give me feedback on lesson planning and implementation, but that's not always feasible. So I have an online community to help.
In my personal life, the same holds true. My postings should not come as a surprise to friends or family members that know me well. I am just seeking to document my journey and reflect a bit along the way.
That's all. Just something I've been thinking about lately. If anyone is reading, say hello!

Submission: one of two equals choosing to humble him/herself under the authority of the other person (placed by God) in order to bring glory to God. - my paraphrase of the sermon at the church I went to tonight.
Interesting thoughts.
On a completely different note, it's been a very long time since I've posted, although no one really reads anyway, this is more for me...
I've been slacking on writing in general recently. I used to journal a lot...that was normally in place of prayer/writing down my prayers. Now I've started praying more out loud. I don't really care if I look like an idiot talking to myself in my car on the way to/from work...I normally look like an idiot singing along with the radio anyway. ;-)
That cultivating stillness week was pretty awesome...I need to do that again. Cut myself off from the things that facilitate wasting time...
Another one of my friends got engaged. :-)
I love my new placement. I'm realizing that I can do this for a career. I'm finally in the field that I chose (well, the one that God chose for me), and I'm truly loving it. It's still a lot of work, but it's paying off. I'm learning a lot this semester already!
That's all. Forgive me for the lack of depth. :-P
