I've always loved the word benevolence. Its not used a lot, but I've always heard my dad use it. An old hardcore christian band I used to listen to had a song with the name in it. Anyway, benevolence is a "desire to do good to others; goodwill; charitableness."
I believe this is what I was called to be and live out as an educator.
That is the reason for starting this blog and using it in my blog name. I want to be good to others and be giving to others. It isn't always easy, as a parent, a father, or a teacher, but I believe it is what others need and depend upon.
I look forward to interacting with you as we move forward in benevolence.
God bless,
