IN ranks dead last of all states in the growth in teacher salaries since 2002. Last. Over that same period the demands on teachers to meet the mental, social, physical, safety, and emotional needs of students has grown dramatically.

My One Word for 2020 was Optimism. It was perfect and oh so needed. In 2021 my One Word will be Good. I will see the Good in others, even if they can do nothing for me, even if they disagree with me, even if I don’t like them. I will see the Good in my own life, being grateful. .

The Bible says Caleb and Joshua were of a different spirit than those around them. Be of a different spirit than the negative people you encounter daily.
12 scouted the promised land. 10 came back w/a negative report. They said the enemy were too big. They had no faith. Only 2 were positive: Caleb and Joshua. Their faith in God was greater than their fear of the opposition. Only they entered the promised land. #Positiveteam of 2.

We can’t just tolerate differences. We must embrace differences. It’s not enough to not be a racist. We must be anti-racism. Make a Difference! Love each other.

During Easter we focus on eternal life but God can resurrect our current life as well. He did it for Paul, Peter, Moses, & Mary Magdalene. No matter our failures, He forgives us.We are never out of it, finished, or washed up. No matter our circumstances He can raise up greatness.

I first saw this quote in @CoachVanderbush’s weight room 20 years ago. I have never forgotten it! I have used it a lot over the years.
Favorite quote below - It's the things in life that challenge us - the adversity that we overcome - that make us stronger.

23 players have entered the medical field since 2012. That’s incredible! If you want to play football and become a doctor, there is no better place in the world.
It's National Doctors Day, and the @WabashFB is honoring recent players who have gone to serve in the medical and dental professions. Wabash football players excel on the field and in life!!. #WAF
