Special Ed Law School....?

My 8-year-old son just asked me how many Special-Ed students are in my law school. I told him none. He asked, "Why not?" I said, "Because no one who is Special-Ed could ever get into law school." He looked shocked and said, "Well, that's just not fair. What if they want to be lawyers?" I said back to him, "Well, they just couldn't be a lawyer. It wouldn't be an option for them." He looked disappointed and just shrugged "Oh, ok." I didn't feel right telling him this. I felt like it went against every thing I've taught him about beating the odds and becoming whatever you want to be. How should I have responded? I didn't know what else to tell him.

Law IS a Risky Career

It is pretty scary when your own Dean is telling you that Law School probably isn't worth the trouble. Eeks. 


Dean Jim Chen writes, "You've graduated from law school. You've landed a job as an attorney. Now you want to buy a house and cement your status in the professional class. 

But can you afford it? Probably not — unless you can count on earning three times your annual tuition, assuming you're borrowing the money..."

Recognize Your Blesssings

Have you ever noticed that, often times, the things we spend the most time complaining about are the very things we asked (sometimes begged) God for? This reality hit me hard today. As you know, today was the last day of my first semester of law school, and as you are probably also aware of, I spent most of the last four months complaining about hard it was to go to law school with all these kids, and how busy I was, and how I might quit, etc., etc., etc.. But God confronted me today. He said, “Morgan, remember this past summer? Remember your prayers back then? You would pray things like, ‘Oh Lord, please help me pass this LSAT, Oh Lord, please let me get an acceptance letter in the mail.’ Well, I did those things, you got what you wanted, and then you complained.” OUCH, right?  Then I started looking at other things in my life and recognized this pattern: God will answer my prayer, I will receive what I asked for, and then I will gripe about it. For example, my kids, my car, my husband, Law School.  Satan is tricky, and I let him rob a lot of my joy the past four months when I should have been praising the Lord for an answered prayer. Satan, I am on to you, and don’t plan on letting you do this to me again! 

FINISHED!!!!!

I didn't cross the finish line tonight, but rather, I just collapsed over the finish line. My first semester of law school is...COMPLETE!!!!!!!!!!! Praise the Lord!
