    Got very lucky....and blessed...

    So those of you that know me know that I help coach the debate team at the college where I work. Just assist, Steven Koch is our main coach...

    Not only were we lucky enough to take a national championship in the NEDA division of college debate....

    ...but at our end of year dinner...got a box from all of my students...opened it up...

    Got a Lie Nielson Bronze #4 as a gift for all of my help through the year!

    Twice blessed indeed!

    Regards,

    Chris.

    And yes, this is a bit of a gloat...

    My faith in human kind is refreshed. You sound like a good teacher.

    Hi! I don't post much. I mostly just read and learn. I wanted to say I don't believe you were lucky...instead, I believe your hard work and dedication to these students was rewarded not only with a nice gift of appreciation but with the success of the debate team. Congrats and Great Job!

    Thanks! I will enjoy the #4 quite a bit I think...

    SWEET! Congratulations!

    I know you put significant work into that and it is nice to hear that they really appreciate what you do.

    I can attest to Chris' kindness and dedication! You should be proud.

    And that is a very nice gloat!

    Well done and congrats! You can't put a price on the recollections you'll have when you pick that plane up.

    Blessed is really correct.
    Blessed of God by the kind people you team up with.
    Blessed by how they think of you.
    Blessed by gifts given in honor of you.
    Truly blessed indeed.
    You never get the answer if you don't ask the question.
