Advice giving

​Be careful about giving advice. If you do, be prepared to act on it. When I give a student some new vocabulary and ask him to write a sentence using a new word, he writes a sentence and I write a sentence. If I ask a student to write a paragraph on a subject, he writes one and I write one. If I assign a practice test, he does it and I do it. The only place I have given advice on this website is under Author. I said, “Practice and practice some more.” Do I follow my own advice? Yes. I practice writing every day. If you advise and you are not prepared to act, how empty the words become.

I realized over the course of an evening of writing that loneliness is an invitation. From whom? The Man who hangs on the cross, the Man I love. Lo these many years, the invitation was made, but I did not understand or I was unwilling to accept. Writing brought clarity and acceptance.
Song by Suzanne Toolan, RSM, 94, retired music teacher Mercy High School, Burlingame, CA.
​When I visited by brother for the last time, he told me he had a dream, and in the dream Christ gave him communion. I am confident Tommy will be raised up on the last day.

So happy for you that you are finally taking some time off. I am sure it will be very productive, especially if you allow Him to lead you. I will miss your blog but you as a person are more important and especially your soul. Take care and I know He will give you the best you need,
