About Me

My photo
After living in Portugal for 15 years and teaching English in various capacities there, including at the University of Aveiro, I moved back to the United States in 2019. Returning for our church was the best decision we have ever made and God has been so good to us. Reading the Bible everyday and trying to keep the commandments of Jesus are my priorities, along with loving my family and all the people God has put into my life. Helping people is something I enjoy doing, and meeting the individual needs of students who want to learn English is important to me.

Proverbs

 Proverbs 27:5-6 

Open rebuke is better

Than love carefully concealed.

Faithful are the wounds of a friend,
But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
Rebuke: a strong verbal correction

Proverbs

 Proverbs 13:2 2A man shall eat well by the fruit of his mouth,

But the soul of the unfaithful feeds on violence.




TThe words we speak determine the way we live (this is eating the fruit of what we say).

Proverbs

Proverbs 6:9-11 
How long will you slumber, Oh sluggard? 
When will you rise from your sleep? 
A little sleep, a little slumber, 
A little folding of the hands to sleep- 
So shall your proverty come on you like a prowler, 
And your need like an armed man. 




 Vocabulary:  

sluggard: a lazy, slow moving person. 

prowler: a thief, a person who steals.
