Due to scheduling conflicts, a local pastor was needed to teach 5/8 units of “Contemporary Congregational Concerns” senior course at MLHS. while teaching high school was what my father did in the 90’s, I wondered if it would be something I’d enjoy. I certainly cared for these seniors but I also consistently wrestled with myself and my inner “this could be done better” angst. I also did see a definite roadblock with my hearing loss. The kids were understanding and were as engaged as you’d expect seniors to be, but many times I wished I didn’t have to ask them to repeat themselves as it hindered the flow of conversation. Nevertheless, a labor of love giving back to my alma mater is finished. To God be the glory.
