Thoughts on seasons

The older I get, the more I realize life’s a collection of seasons. Some short, some long, hard seasons, good seasons and great seasons. As I look back on my six-year season as the Superintendent of the Chisago Lakes Schools, it’s been a great season in my life! For those that know me and have followed my six years here, they might wonder, “Really? You’d call dealing with budgets, a pandemic, dealing with adult problems and political and social unrest a great season?” And, I would respond, with a resounding yes. It’s been a great season in my life, because it’s about the people you meet in every season that make them all great. When it’s a hard season, you remember those who came alongside you, helped, encouraged and supported you. In seasons of rejoicing, there’s those who celebrate with you and are happy for you.
