Dear Mr. President...

Today my students wrote letters to the presidents. They were pretty amazing. Amazing in the sense that one asked if Abraham Lincoln still lived there. Another felt the need to inform him that he likes to eat cheese. Another asked him for some money so she could have her birthday party at a hotel. And another asked her for some make up that she could take home (we have make-up for the girls in our class, but they're not allowed to take it home).

I should be sleeping now or working on an IEP. One or the other, both important. Both unappealing at the moment.

Our pastor made a really good point Sunday. He talked about how it's crazy that people act like every election is the most election ever and it's not. Really the most important one was, when Abe Lincoln was voted in and declared that slavery was wrong and made it law. I agree, but I have a big mouth and opinionated mind....

In amazing news, two sponsors of the debates dropped out due to the rudeness/evilness of not letting Gary Johnson in the debates even though he meets the requirements.

Sarah and I have been trying out new Bible Study classes at our church. We've gone to the typical "young adult" one for maybe a month or so now. This past Sunday I was done, I mean no one talked to us at all, not the guy who does it, his wife, people we sat next to, people we awkwardly tried to corner into conversation, and people I weirdly stared at smiled and said, "hi." But this Sunday the leader himself did talk to us, although he never asked my name, but I guess that is a start. We're still undecided what we're planning on doing. I have great insight into why new people, especially in their 20s, don't join church, stay in the church, and get connected in the church, for sure. It's hard taking that rejection week after week, very hard. Like if King wasn't there alongside with me I would have gone to that class once and then been OUT the very next week.

In other new, I have lots to do this week. I may have had a mini-panic attack when I definitely for 100% for sure thought today was Tuesday (well  technically it is now, but y'all know what I mean).
