Trippin' over China

Hey fam. Last week I had the opportunity of a life time. I walked,climbed the Great Wall of China. Amazing right? It seriously was! It was awe inspiring! In all my life I never fathomed that I would have the adventurous opportunity to step foot upon one of the ancient wonders of the world. Stuff dreams are made of. Those who know me,know my beliefs and so I would not be me if I could not openly thank God for His continually blessings -- making my dreams my realities. You can enjoy more pictures of Beijing, China here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=150902&id=506033346&l=1fc3c1c1c9

ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE!

Hey Fam,

So this week I've been teaching the Beatles' song All You Need is Love to the fourth graders, and originally I selected the song for its repetition, and its sheer simplicity not knowing that after listening to it for the umpteenth time it would really, really grow on me. I can't stop humming this tune. It's an endearing song. And it speak volumes through its very simplistic message, truly all you need is love!

Click below to hear the song and read the lyrics.

Enjoy,

Derek
