Just want to share this video I subtitled for use in the class. Very amazing and uplifting story. You'll be inspired. Sit back and enjoy. You can also get the article in my same folder or on my ning below.

You're such a great teacher, ddouble.

pressing "play" on a video really requires a lot of thought and preparation.

Junior,

It is not only pressing play that is important. It is also making sure you are plugged in. I can say for certain that on most days, you certainly are not....

Read some O'Leary my friend....

Can you imagine......

I posted on that video before. It is one of the most touching things I've ever seen. Just incredible.

Thx, I liked the short doc. Put things into perspective and wrenching at the end when the father says all his success is because of his son. Strange how tears, suffering reflect and are "value". We are so much better for our struggles - I think he is saying.

By far, one of my all time favourite songs....I've had to pull over to the side of the road more than once because of those lyrics.

"You can hear it here" along with other great songs of encouragement!

Link doesn't work.

Song is called "I can only imagine" by Michael W Smith.
