"Where can a teacher go?

Wherever she thinks people need the things she knows.

Hey those books you gave us look good on the shelves at home,

and they'll burn warm in the fireplace, teacher, when in Rome"

Nickel Creek

Where can a teacher go? A teacher can get the heck out of California. That's where. Don't come here. RUN!

I've been really praying and trying to put my trust in God for providing me a job. I have to be okay with any outcome, but in all honesty, it is a struggle. I had an interview and found out from an anonymous source that I did not get the job because Nick is in the military. The good news was that I didn't blow the interview. They would have hired me otherwise. I'm sending in applications to every school in existence. Perhaps I should start sending in perfumed resumes? Or telling interviewers that my husband and I moved to California because he is a professional surfer? Earthquake enthusiast? Masochist?

Want to hear a question from a Christian school application?

"Describe your understanding of the Rapture of the Church. What is it and when will it take place in relation to the Tribulation Period?"

Excuse me what? Are Tim LaHaye and Jerry B Jenkins the principals? How does this relate to teaching? Why is this happening to me?

Another statement on said application:

"We reject... extreme theological positions of both Calvinism and Arminianism"

Uh Oh! Presbyterian alert! They'll see Presbyterian as my denomination and immediately throw my application into the refining fire and skim off the chaff@!@! (yeah, they did ask my denomination)

Pray for me people.
