New Blog Idea started, it’s called “Two and a Half Minute Tuesdays.” Simply put, that means I only spend 2.5 minutes on my blog each Tuesday. Of course, I am going to blow this concept out of the water since I am having to explain to you what this thing is. Two and a Half Minute Tuesday’s will range from all things random to great links and blog posts to read….and the two and a half minutes begins now!

Got an email from a former student struggling to find their value and worth as a human. I pointed her to several great passages in the Scriptures, hope that helped a little. Also made her download this song by Andrew Peterson. I am going to copy and paste the lyrics here for you. You are treasured by the One who created you.
“Loose Change” by Andrew Peterson
I’d give you all of me to know what you were thinking
And if I had one wish I’d wish I wasn’t sinking here
Drowning in this well
Oh can’t you tell
That I can’t pick myself up off the ground
I’ve been face down
And pushed aside
Well, you know I’d rather just turn tail and run
Than lie here in the sun
And watch you pass me by
‘Cause I ain’t worth a dime
But if only I could stand up straight
I wouldn’t have to lie and wait
I could up and roll away
And never be ignored
I’ve got a feeling that I’m something more
Than just a piece of copper ore
Turning green and looking for
The reason I was born
Well, I’ve been around since 1964
In banks and bottom drawers
On railroad ties
I’ve been passed around and cast aside
And skipped and flipped and flattened wide
Spun around and thrown away and left alone to lie
But I heard about a penny found
Lying underneath the couch
By a woman who was kneeling down
Looking for some change
Then the woman danced around
Called her friends all over town
Told ‘em what was lost is found
It’s another penny saved
So I find that all this time
Beneath the surface, I could shine
Like all the gold a king and queen could measure
See, even just a penny is a treasure
