- Another side of President Bush 23 December 2008It's sometimes hard to cut through the clutter to see the kind of man President Bush is. Stories like this one from the Wall Street Journal are a helpful reminder that even if we may disagree with some of his decisions, attacking him as a man is uncalled for. Even though his version of "compassionate conservatism" has drawn the ire of some con […]
- Professors' Liberalism Contagious? Maybe Not - NYTimes.com 3 November 2008Do liberal faculty affect the political leanings of students? These people say no. But let's look a little deeper. One author says "it is really hard to change the mind of anyone over 15." Does this mean that the average American thinks about politics now the same way he did when he was 15? Yikes. It appears to imply that political opinions a […]

Well, we’re back in Greenville after traveling across the country. We spent a few days in Virginia to look for a place to live and for a job for me.
We did find a place to live. It’s a nice 2-story apartment in Radford fairly near the university. We should be able to move in at the end of next week.
I’m still working on the job. It seems like I have made some progress in the local school districts, but it’s hard to know for sure. There are so many pieces and steps that any of them might stop the whole process. It appears that the certification thing will only be a problem in that principals might not be interested. I am eligible for provisional certification in VA, so that shouldn’t be much of a problem.
It is important that I get a job since we’ll have lots of expenses in the next few weeks. Further, in order to keep our apartment I’ll need a source of income. Please pray that things will work out quickly. I would like to teach, but it’s mostly out of my hands now.
