Evolution
Evolution means to evolve, to go forward, to change where needed. Most folks seem to feel that ‘revolution’ is the better course, not understanding that the root word for revolution is to revolve, to keep going in a circle, to maintain what they think is a status quo.

(The session most notably all but guarantees Senator Clark won’t chair or vice-chair any committee
(The session most notably all but guarantees Senator Clark won’t chair or vice-chair any committee, among other things.) When the Senate met on Friday, September 16, to hear the Senate Ethics Committee’s findings, it quickly and unanimously voted to accept the finding that Senator Flowers had done nothing wrong. That matter settled, it turned to Senator Clark. Senator Clark had brought attorneys that day, prepared to vigorously defend himself. Unfortunately, the body decided to recess given the late house, leaving the matter unsettled until last Tuesday. When the Senate came back last Tuesday, Senator Clark chose not to attend, having insisted he had a trip planned, and that even were he able to reschedule his trip, his attorneys wouldn’t have been available. This did not go over well. In addition to Senator Clark, four other members—Caldwell, Rapert, Stubblefield, and Sturch were absent, but all four were granted leave, as is the common courtesy when a member is absent. For reasons never explicitly made clear, Senator Clark was not granted leave. (My guess is that the Republican members who pushed for this felt that had the body granted leave, it would have suggested that everyone was okay with Senator Clark having chosen not to attend.) I’ll note here that rules don’t clearly specify for a member in Senator Clark’s position to have the opportunity to defend themself. When a member brings an ethics charge forward, the Senate Ethics Committee determines whether the charge is valid; if it finds that the charge isn’t valid, it’s allowed to recommend penalties. In other words, it’s not as though Senator Clark were facing his own charge, but rather the consequences of having brought forward a spurious and frivolous charge. I’ll also note that the Senate Ethics Committee repeatedly gave Senator Clark the opportunity to withdraw his charge against Senator Flowers, and he refused. Nevertheless, two senators— Senator Bob Ballinger (R-Ozark) and Senat

Teaching and Leading During a Crisis
On August 13th, 2004, the first week of my senior year of high school, Hurricane Charley barreled into the Gulf of Mexico, made a 90° turn, and proceeded to ravage my hometown. Last night, from my living room here in Michigan, I watched Hurricane Ian do the same thing all over again.
