Who Am I?

 A Bit About Me In A Nutshell

     Hello! Now that you know some of my thoughts, it's time to get to know the author of those thoughts. I'm Carlie Watt, a high school English Education major. Non-traditional doesn't seem to cover it, as I have been in and out of school for 15 years, and have finally decided what I want to do when I grow up! I love to travel the world on Missions, spreading the love of God wherever He guides me. I am a wife and mom who sews, surfs, skateboards, and am very creative. I love camping, hiking, kayaking, and hunting waterfalls! When I was 29, I had an acoustic neuroma brain tumor and have had to learn to "live life" all over again. I am learning or re-learning something different every single day. It is not easy, but Oh! So worth it!

Is this the Slow Death of Gifted and Honors Classes in Education?

Gifted and Honors Programs Are NOT the Problem! It's been a while since I have written you. Forgive me for my absence. What you are about to start reading is the beginning of a project I am doing as part of my Teacher Education classes. As a parent, I had formed my own opinions about my daughters' education, teachers, and programs at their respective schools. They spent their elementary years at a Christian private school in Florida where the class sizes were small and personal instruction of students was encouraged and available. When we moved up to Georgia, we experienced a notable change.   The teachers were caring, I am not disputing that! The problem was that they did not have the time or resources available to give the one-on-one attention so many of the students desperately needed. Because of this, I saw that students were falling through the cracks. Remember, I am writing this from a parent's point of view at this point. The teachers lacked consistency. I began to n...

  Few Are Chosen Revelations 12:11   And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Birth Pangs      When we read the word "and" it is always preceded by information or action that coincides with what comes after. When reading the scripture above , we should be curious about who they and him are and what is happening that needs to be overcome? How will they overcome him? We then see ' and ' two more times indicating that the blood of the Lamb, the Word of their testimony;  and not loving their lives unto death can only happen when all three things are combined. To break it down - t hey,  are followers of Jesus; h im,  is the enemy of mankind;  the Lamb, is Jesus. Revelations chapter 12 tells about the end times and gives a glimpse of what God's people will have to do to stand against the attacks of the enemy. How do they gain the victory? By faith in Jesus, th...

Blind Science

  God, Creator of All ... Even Science.   Is Science A Replacement For or An Explanation About God? God wants to know and be known by His people. Would anyone who loves their children, when told their child is hungry, give them a stone and say, “Be filled?” Matthew 7:7-12 As the Father of all creation, He is wonderous enough to not only give us the vast universe to enjoy, but He might possibly also give us the means to dissect, study, and build upon its foundations.  Every person has an inner pursuit of truth, yet, how to search for and find truth varies differently in times and between cultures. Even more diverse are the means people discover their ‘truths’. Is truth relative, varying from person to person? And what is the standard to which we should base truth?       John Bunyan wrote The Pilgrim’s Progress during his 12 years in Prison. His crime? Preaching the Word of God. Despite Bunyan’s caution of never taking a political position, those in po...
