Great encouragement here, Dave - to shrink that gap not only in teaching, but in our lives as we seek to follow Christ more closely each day! Re: Omaha Zoo - I remember the old commercials featuring Marlon Perkins for Mutual of Omaha on the show Wild Kingdom … any connections?
Thanks for this word of encouragement, Dan! That's also a great question about the Mutual of Omaha connection. None that I know of...but I don't know for sure. :-)
Thank you for this challenge, Dave. One of my beliefs about teaching is that the skills we teach should serve students in the world beyond school. But sometimes in English we teach material that we personally enjoy or that we know has worked in the past. So I keep trying to close that gap in my teaching of Business Writing at Northwestern College. Best wishes to all educators as a new school year begins!
Here's to another year of shrinking that gap! Thanks!

It's always a process of becoming, isn't it, Kim?
