You stay classy!

So, we're doing our year-end author presentations right now. Fifteen minutes per student to talk about the author he/she has been studying all year. Overall, the presentations have been excellent.

One student shared this quote by realist nature writer Jack London, and even though he is probably the farthest thing from a "Christian thinker," I thought it worth sharing.

“I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.”
