"Be cool man"

So I love my class they are adorable and make everyday a good one for me.
I am teaching the the sond "Jingle Bell Rock" to sing in the Christmas program in a couple weeks(and not to brag but I am doing a seriously good job they have made major improvement in the past three days) back to the point we were practicing it today and my one of my favorite students(mostly because he ALWAYS does what i ask him to) was not singing and had this sad little pouty face(which was adorable)(sorry i will stop inserting and get to the point) and the boy next to him turned to him and said "be cool man, just sing its the cool thing to do" i LOVED this for one he said man in this hilariou voice and another singing is cool!! and this whole situation just brought me joyous thoughts of GLEE i am addicted and think about how much i want to be on the show daily but anyway point of the story BE COOL MAN JUST SING!!

Stronger than I ever knew!

"A mighty wind blew night and day
it stole the oak tree's leaves away
then snapped is boughs and pulled its bark
until the oak was tired and stark

But still the oak tree held its ground
while other trees fell all around
the weary wind gave up and spoke
How can you still be standing oak?

The oak tree said I know that you
can break each branch of mine in two
carry every last leaf away
shake my limbs and make me sway

But I have roots stretched in the earth
growing stronger since my birth
you'll never touch them you see
they are the deepest part of me

Until today, I wasn't sure
of how much I could endure
but know I found with thanks to you
I am stronger than I ever knew"
-Johnny Ray Ryder

Elder Ballard shared this poem and I love it, I think we are all so my stronger than we know and that if we always have our heart on Christ and his gospel with will be able to withstand anything!
