...couldn't make my brain work in the way I was accustomed to. I couldn't get the words and thoughts to work. But [somehow] I remembered Chapter eight, Verse 26, from the Book of Romans, that says that when we can't pray for ourselves the Holy Spirit intercedes for us with "groaning too deep for words...
...headlong, so committed to the emotional extremes. You might not, in the end, believe them, but boy they were gripping to watch.

Just as our abilities to craft theses don’t simply materialize in the night, professors are not hatched from graduate schools knowing how to teach. Teaching itself is a skill that must be learned and taught...
