My name in lights???

I walked into the high school on Wednesday to do some work in the library. As I reached up to open the door I saw a little sign above the door...
Media Specialist: Mrs. Swantz.

Wow! There it was...

We watched the Rookie this past weekend. The story is about a science teacher in a high school in Texas. He is also the baseball coach to a losing team in a school where football rocks and baseball is not-existent. He had dreams of being a major league pitcher -but due to arm injuries he gave up those dreams long ago. So - as a coach he starts throwing to his boys. As he throws more - his arm seems to improve. But, they are still losing. So the team makes him a bet - if they win districts - he must try out for the majors once again. They win and he does...and he makes it.

Now...I've seen this movie many times. It's R's favorite - so we watch it now and again. But, on Sunday afternoon as I watched it I cried through the entire movie. The whole blasted thing...why in the world you may ask...at least I asked.

I think it's because I've been dreaming too. Not of my name in lights - but of my name above a door that opens into a library. And now it's there!!!

So - it's time for me to walk through the door and get to work!
