elf-esteem
KarenBeth is an elf: http://elfyourself.jibjab.com/view/HmQX3nKSkR SIftKBDsPv.
Just trust me and click the button. :D You'll laugh so hard you'll cry!
(I'd like to thank Jan, Stefani, Sharone, and Scott who graciously and unknowingly lended their mug shots to this fine work of art. I'd also like to thank my mother who didn't institutionalize me even when she knew I was a little crazy. Finally, I would like to thank the Academy...no, don't play the music, wait, wait, waaaaiiiii---)

God's love
I'm trying to pace myself with posting my students' funny sentences, but the truth is that they are just too good to keep to myself. The following are laugh-out-louds, head scratchers, or just plain bad:
"David also worked very closely with Robert Moffat, who arrived a few weeks after him. He had a daughter named Mary and they were deeply in love. They got married on January 2, 1945; they had four boys, and a daughter who died on the mission field due to sickness."
Okay, besides the correct use of a semi-colon here, there is not much about this sentence that is good! Of course the daughter died, if the diction is to be trusted! My student commited the unforgivable crime of creating an incestuous relationship for unsuspecting missionary workers!
"These feelings were all about to be reversed in an event that would change his lives."
Hmmm...just for the record, exactly how many lives does this man have?
"According to The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy, Augustine was raised in a Christian atmospheric home."
Well, if The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy says it, it must be true!
And my personal favorite...
"Anyone can come out of the deepest depths and God's love reaches every corner of every bottom."
Yes, indeed.

Oh, the funny just won't stop
from a student's recent essay on Sojourner Truth...
"Like her mother and many slaves had done, Isabella watched as her children were torn out of her fingerprints and sold to other farms."
First of all...ouch! Second of all...thesaurus much? Ahhhh. I just LOVE this time of the semester.

My friend Timmy
Anyone who can look this adorable this often deserves some web recognition. I miss him...
Here's Timothy Elijah, the cutest little squirt in my entire family.
And here's the handsome little dude after a hair cut.
And here's Yoda trying to impersonate my nephew for Halloween.
And here's how big he was when Scott and I moved to California (3-4 wks old).
Awww, Little T and Auntie KB!
Here's to all out there who miss their loved ones...
