In March 2014, I was informed that it was in both my & Lutheran High's best interests for me to step down. [I had been on a leave of absence since Nov. 2013, due to a case of burnout.] In March 2017, I officially retired. It was an unplanned early retirement.
Both of these milestones passed last month, & I was oblivious. In previous years I tended to experience a case of "gloomies" as I reflected on those two events. Maybe this is a sign of progress.
Floods
"The magnitude of the flood is incredible. Eight-one of our 93 counties are under emergency declarations Thousands of people were displaced from their homes. Farmers & ranchers saw their livestock & grain bins washed away. Bridges are gone. Levees along 5 river systems are destroyed. Roads are washed out.
"Every day, across our state, we see grit & resilience. It doesn't matter whether the challenge we face is large or small, whether it's a statewide disaster or a crisis just on your own block--Nebraskans face it with courage, goodwill, & unwavering conviction that we are part of one community of neighbors & friends." ["A Flood Reveals Nebraska's Grit," Congressman Ben Sasse, National Review Online, 3/27]
