Serve • I must know and love myself first. • Gratitude for my gifts AND the opportunities to use them. • Acknowledging and working on my faults. • For my students… • Meet them where they’re at. • Help them be better than me. • In what I teach… • Objectives from my Geography syllabus: • understand the social justice concerns present throughout the world and possess the desire to affect positive change. • think of the world in a global context, avoid ethnocentricity, and embrace the value of cultural differences.
“Lions for Lambs” • Todd Hayes: “You don’t think school should be as social as it is academic? Getting two educations?” • Professor Malley: “I think if you can’t balance the two you shouldn’t be here.”
Malley: “You're great with words, Todd. But what would make 'em better is if they had a heartbeat. If they were rooted in any kind of experience, if you had knocked on doors, licked envelopes, been to a damn public rally, just put yourself on the line in any way.” • Hayes: “Licking envelopes, that's putting myself on the line?” • Malley: “Infinitely more than just talking.” • Hayes: “I’m gonna pay my taxes. I’m gonna obey traffic lights…” • Malley: “That’s super. I was thinking about something bigger.”
Hayes: “You think it's better to try and fail than fail to try?” Malley: “Yeah.” Hayes: “But what if you end up in the same place?” Malley: “At least you did something.” Malley: “The decisions you make now, bud, can't be changed but with years and years of hard work to redo it. And in those years you become something different. Everybody does as time passes. You get married, you get into debt. But you're never gonna be the same person you are right now. And promise and potential... It's very fickle. And it just might not be there any more.”

A Prayer of St. Pierre Favre • May the almighty Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit grant us the grace, • that knowingly we may and want to seek and beg for these two things: • To be loved by God and His saints & • To love God and His saints. • From now on however, • we must strive more for the better, the more generous • & be more attentive to what has been neglected by us. • we must seek more ardently to give signs of our love than seek the signs indicating that we are loved. • And these signs will be the efforts we take for the sake of Jesus and all people. • Amen Prayer for Generosity On Christmasday, 1542 6-Jan-14

"...strange is our situation here upon earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to a divine purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we know. That we are here for the sake of others...Many times a day, I realize how much my own outer and inner life is built upon the labors of people, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received.“ Albert Einstein Just call us Grandma and Grandpa Isn’t Colbie beautiful?

An Ignatian Advent Prayer • "I have to become present to myself in God. • In my culture I am constantly dragged away from myself. • The phone, lights, emails, noise—everything is going on to drag me away from myself. • So the first thing I have to do is come present to myself as an individual whom Almighty God has chosen as his own. • I belong to God & I have to become aware of that now • & that means becoming aware of the gifts that God is giving to me— • not in general, • not in the past, • but right now, • today." Fr. Joe Tetlow SJ Prayer for Generosity

Principle and Foundation Lord my God, when Your love spilled over into creation, you thought of me.I am from love of love for loveLet my heart, God, always recognize, cherish, and enjoy your goodness in all of creation.Direct all that is in me toward your praise. Teach me reverence for every person, all things. Energize me in your service. • Lord God, may nothing ever distract me from your love... Neither health nor sickness wealth nor poverty honor nor dishonor short life nor long life. May I never seek nor choose to be other than you intend or wish. Amen.(Ignatius Loyola, Spiritual Exercises, adapted by Jacqueline Syrup Bergan and Marie Schwan) Prayer for Generosity
