If I had to choose whether to be forever homeless‚ but free to roam the earth as I please or live the life of luxury and be locked in my mansion‚ I would choose to live the life of luxury and be locked in my mansion.

If I were homeless‚ I would spend my time roaming the earth for something to eat. I would not have enough money to even travel

“We’re going to mine off the navigation path?” I snapped. “Wicked Pass is the closest feeder system to the Wildlands. We don’t want to mix with those types of people‚ they live lawlessly.” “Where is your adventure?” Fisher laughed. “We’re going to make a killing on this belt.

However‚ I’d actually been in Wicked Pass before

Teaching is sacrificial and it is a calling for those who have a servant’s heart. I am frequently reminded of a student in my Beginning Band class two decades ago. His name was Carlton and he was a special needs student in sixth grade. Carlton desperately wanted to learn to play the Baritone horn well enough that he could perform on the Spring Band Concert but band rehearsals were short and he needed more help. So‚ he and I agreed that he would skip recess and I would skip lunch a few times each
