Time for a Little Review

Image info
This little picture just spoke to me this week.  I have been having a rough time with getting back into the rhythm of classes after Spring Break and I keep feeling like I am all out of my groove of school.  Seeing this graphic in the announcements this week helped me keep a positive attitude.  I will get the hang of things again, it may take me a couple more days, though.

I also really enjoyed the Chad Gadya video.  This folk song is really fascinating and I really liked learning more about it in the Wikipedia article, too.  This song has such a rich history and goes back hundreds of years.  I really encourage everyone to listen to it and then checkout the article to learn more about it.

The little bird began to enjoy staying with the man and stayed even after the wing healed.   The...

In Search of Fire

Image
When the world first started, there was no warmth until the Thunder came.  The lands were cold and nights were so dark.  One day, a great storm brought the Thunder and struck a huge tree on an island and filled it with fire.  Smoke rose from the island, so the animals knew it was there, but could not reach it for the water.  They held a council to determine who among them could bring the fire back to them. All of the animals were very eager to volunteer.  It seemed that everyone thought they were more than capable of reaching the island and bringing home the fire. All of the birds were there and the council decided one among them should try first, since they could easily fly over to the island. It was decided that the first to try would be the eagle.  He was a very smart and strong bird, so the council agreed he would surely be able to do it. He was the strongest flier among the birds and unmatched in his hunting skills.  The council thought that i...
