Pride

I can't help but be just a bit proud today. I just visited one of my former students' blogs and learned that his first book is coming out tomorrow! His name is J.R. Briggs, and the book is called "When God says Jump". I can't wait to read it! I'm proud because J.R. was in my 10th grade English class in Virginia, and slaved and slaved and slaved over every paper I made him write. He wanted to do it well, perfectly. Both he and I know he wasn't a strong writer then...however, his hard work and the Lord's blessings have paid off, obviously, in this fruit! Congratulations, J.R.!!!
