I am not really a Calvinist. I have flirted with and was taught at the knee of a man( my maternal grandfather) who had very Calvinistic tendencies. ( Calvinism believes God has predestined everything before the earth was even formed.)
From time to time, I often wonder if I should have taught school, or do something else.
Don't get me wrong. I loved teaching school. I really did. I really enjoyed teaching seniors. I LOVED it.
I also knew when it was time to go.....Time to retire. I know I upset some people when I did retire, but within a short period of time, I knew I had made the correct decision.
Last night, I had a random conversation on the phone with a former student.
Let's face it, everyone has rough spots in their lives.
I know the old Govteach has them from time to time.
The person I spoke to is bright, and in his heart has a good soul.
We spoke for a while, they felt better, I felt better.
Sometimes, you are put in situations we do not understand that 'play-out" years if not decades later.
Last night, I was reminded why I wound up in Buna ISD 25 years ago.
