I do not recall exactly what brought this up in class on Monday but I was accused of lieing by one of the students. I told him, "You know better! I don't lie!" A girl in the class piped up, "Oh, come on! Everybody lies!" I told her, "I used to, but I don't anymore!" Her response was, "Then you are a very unusual lady!"
Later on in the hour I pulled out my trusty palm pilot that has five different versions of the Bible loaded by Gary! I found this verse to share from The Message.
God can't stomach liars: He loves the company of those who keep their word.Proverbs 12:22
I showed it to her. I don't know if it meant anything to her or not but it left me bursting! I so wanted to burst out in the song that plays on my MySpace profile.
"I'M IN LOVE WITH GOD, GOD'S IN LOVE WITH ME!"
Just realizing that I don't lie because I do so want Him to delight in me as I delight in Him.
Sometimes I feel so stiffled! :?) Too bad I can't burst out in any song I want to when I am sitting in a Learning Lab (study hall like atmosphere) in a public school!

Oh my goodness...can you just imagine what those kids would do if you did bust out in song?! You should do it sometime and then claim temporary insanity!
I do sing in the Spanish classes! I teach them songs. I have seen some students jump in their seats when I start singing. I think I am singing soft, but they still jump!
Actually, your cousin was in the class this happened in. I don't know if she was aware of it though as she sits in the back of the classroom.
