What is your perspective?
Do you ever find yourself grinding through life with the intensity of a wood chipper? Not really looking up, taking a break or taking that all important breath to regain perspective? We certainly can find ourselves like that for three months at a time. Ninety days can fly by very quickly. This past school termContinue reading “What is your perspective?”

20 Thoughts: Field hockey, buses, interim, and volleyball among just a few things.
We have just finished the second term here at RVA. A very busy and full term. Those two words, busy and full, seem to get used a lot when we get to the end of terms. It is hard to even qualify them into just how we feel The best way to describe it isContinue reading “20 Thoughts: Field hockey, buses, interim, and volleyball among just a few things.”

Wood for fuel, whatever meager open (or conveniently cleared) piece of land they can put a few seeds in, and wood as a cash crop dominate the entireContinue reading “Mudslide!”
Banquet 2013 – Titanic

The junior class puts on a banquet for the seniors to show their appreciation and to honour the seniors for making it this far. It is not just any banquet though. There is a building that we use thatContinue reading “Banquet 2013 – Titanic”
Life and Death
It is not very often that we receive very good news and very bad news in the same day. For us Saturday was one of those days that we had the privilege of hearing of the birth of two new additions to our family and the loss of a father of one of our students. Continue reading “Life and Death”
Is blogging worth it?
OK, I have to admit that I was, maybe still am, skeptical about blogging and keeping people up to date this way. Blogging was just one of those things that people did before the invention of Facebook to let people know what they were doing and thinking every minute of the day. It was notContinue reading “Is blogging worth it?”
