“IF YOU HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN SELF
YOU ARE TWICE DEFEATED
IN THE RACE OF LIFE.
WITH CONFIDENCE YOU HAVE WON
EVEN BEFORE YOU HAVE STARTED.”

..
Here’s a special message we would like to share with you from Simple Truths founder, Mac Anderson:
..
I grew up in Trenton, Tennessee, a small town of 5,000 people. I have wonderful memories of those first 18 years and the teachers who helped shape the person I am today.
..
Fred Culp was my history teacher in high school. To this day, he is still the funniest person I’ve ever met. In addition to loving his history class, he taught me that a sense of humor, especially laughing at yourself, can be one of life’s greatest blessings.

If you’re a teacher, or if, like me, your life was greatly influenced by a teacher, you’re going to love this movie! The beautiful poem,

There are great quotes, many of which I love. Then there is what I’ll call timeless wisdom…great thoughts from great leaders who, throughout the ages, have inspired us, encouraged us, and of course, led us to do the right thing.
..
That’s what this wonderful 3 minute movie is all about…timeless wisdom. So just sit back, turn up your speakers and enjoy!

An excerpt from
The Heart of a Teacher
by Paula Fox
.
The child arrives like a mystery box…
with puzzle pieces inside
some of the pieces are broken or missing…
and others just seem to hide
~*~
But the HEART of a teacher can sort them out…
and help the child to see
the potential for greatness he has within…
a picture of what he can be
~*~
Her goal isn’t just to teach knowledge…
by filling the box with more parts
it’s putting the pieces together…
and creating a work of art
~*~
The process is painfully slow at times…
some need more help than others
each child is a work in progress…
with assorted shapes and colors
~*~
First she creates a classroom…
where the child can feel safe in school
where he never feels threatened or afraid to try…
and kindness is always the rule
~*~
She knows that a child
can achieve much more
when he feels secure inside
when he’s valued and loved…
and believes in himself
…and he has a sense of pride
~*~
She models and teaches good character…
and respect for one another

My name is Tammy. This is my life. I will get saved when “I’ve Got Time”. I was born Jan. 1, 1964.
As I grew up, the Lord kept His hands on me. He healed my polio. Now I walk like you. “Thank you Jesus.”
He showed me right from wrong. I think I’ll get saved when I turn 30.
“I’ve Got Time!”
I got on drugs, He brought me through. “Thank you, Jesus!”
I got pregnant, and cried to the Lord. He gave me a husband. I said to myself, “When I turn 30, I’ll get saved, I’ve Got Time!”
