Teacher's Prayer I want to teach my students how To live this life on Earth. To face it's struggles and it's strife And to improve their worth. Not just the lesson in a book Or how the rivers flow, But how to choose the proper path Wherever they may go. To understand eternal truth And know the right from wrong, And gather all the beauty of A flower and a song. For if I help the world to grow In wisdom and in grace, Then I shall feel that I have won And I have filled my place. And so I ask your guidance, God,That I may do my part. For character and confidence And happiness of heart.-James J. Metcalf

A Teachers Place
At the beginning of my work I saw myself standing on the bank of a river. All the people were swimming around in the river, and I'm shouting instructions at them. Later on in my work when I began to learn more, I saw myself as wading out into the water a little bit and reaching out my hand to help. Now, in my work, I realize that I am swimming around in the river just like everyone else.

Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep - Best Inspiration from the Net from Dobhran's Inspire!

Many of you are familiar with the childhood prayer "Now I lay me down to sleep," but I was little surprised to learn that it is a shortened version of an Old English prayer, which goes like this: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, bless the bed that I lie on.Before I lay me down to sleep, I give my soul to Christ to keep. Four corners to my bed, four angels there a spread, two to foot, and two to head, and two to carry me when I'm dead. I go by sea, I go by land, the Lord made me by his right hand. If any danger comes to me, Sweet Jesus Christ, deliver me. He's the branch, and I'm the flower, pray God send me a happy hour. And if I die before I wake, I pray that Christ my soul will take. ~Author Unknown~
