I’VE HAD OVER 600 STUDENTS pass through my classroom over the last six years.  And while each connection is different, I’d be lying if I did not confess a great deal of care for each of them.  I don’t sing much at school these days; it’s a bit of an awkward proposition.  But if I did, I’d find a way to sing this song: Andrew Peterson’s “You’ll Find Your Way.”  Since I can’t sing it for you, I can at least point you to it.¹

¹  I am mindful of the words of Augustine, mainly because my Faith & Literature class is about to start reading selections from his Confessions: . . . for you have made us for yourself, and our heart is restless until it rests in you.  We should be relentless in our searching, restless.  We may not always understand what we’re looking for, but I can’t help but believe a lot of it is a search for the God who loves us.
