Today was my last day of teaching a 1st/2nd-grade Sunday School class that I've been teaching for the last four years. It's been a very good experience. People tell you all the time that it's rewarding to do things like this, and often they're saying it in an automatic way, but there is something real here. It's not just that you're rewarded by public approval or a sense of having done good work. It's more than that; it's rewarding in a sense that a selfish person could understand, I think.
Anna Quindlen has another good article today.
