I am here, because I am weary of pastoring after doing that for nearly 30 years. I think I can have a better impact on my world for good if I relate to students, rather than to congregants. I can organize material and present it clearly. I still understand the science concepts I learned in college and am anxious to prove it as evidenced by my relatively high, passing score on the Texas pedagogy test after being away from it over 30 years. I plan on taking the first content test, teaching science to students in grades 4-8 within a week. I look forward to helping students learn.
