Quinn Caldwell, author of All I Really Want… proclaims ” I mean , this is Christmas we’re talking about , people! Christmas! The day that unto us a child was born!!! The day that made all of heaven sing in wonderment and joy! The day the Creator of the cosmos entered history and changed it forever!”
” This season calls for tinsel and bright red bubble lights!!!!
It calls for singing ( and drumming) toys! ”
It calls for snowball fights-real or fake!
” Christmas is not a day for restraint; it’s party time! When God decided to decorate for Christmas, God hung an enormous star in the heavens, not a string of demure white lights. No doubt the neighbors were appalled, but it sure did draw a crowd!
So this season celebrate the God who didn’t hold back anything. Be unrestrained, put on some festive music and let the tinsel fly… throw your very best party and praise God’s name!”
I was born a Tarheel but ended up a Sandlapper. My grandparents
were cotton farmers in Laurens, South Carolina and it was in my
grandmother’s house that my love of storytelling began beside an old
Franklin stove. When I graduated from Laurens High School, I attended
Erskine College (Due West of what?) and would later get my Masters
Degree in Education/Social Studies from Charleston Southern. I am
presently an adjunct professor/clinical supervisor at CSU and have also
taught at the College of Charleston.
For 28 years I taught Social Studies through storytelling. My philosophy
matched Rudyard Kipling’s quote: “If history were taught in the form of
stories, it would never be forgotten.” Today I still spread this message
through workshops and presentations throughout the state. The secret
of success in teaching social studies is always in the story.
I want to keep learning and being surprised by life…it is the greatest
teacher. Like Kermit said, “When you’re green you grow, when you’re
ripe you rot.”
