I am a high school biology teacher who would like to have extra motivation to read science-related books and discuss them outside of school. These wouldn't be textbooks, they would be more "popular science" that are educational and entertaining as well! Authors will include Richard Dawkins, Natalie Angier, E.O. Wilson, Carl Sagan, and Rachel Carson among others. There are many of these that have been on my "to-do" list for a long time. Of course other science teachers would be great for this gro …

"What DID Jesus Do?" was the simple question that started it all! Instead of speculating what Jesus WOULD do, we wanted to study deeper into the teachings of our Jewish Messiah in Jewish custom, context and traditions when he actually walked on the earth. This quest lead us to go back to the beginning and study the Bible from Genesis from the Hebrew root0s settings. We have been learning the Holy Scripture as explained by teacher Tom Bradford of Seed of Abraham Ministries in Merritt Island, Flor …

One of the best ways to network is to do it through shared activities. By being in a relaxed atmosphere you will get to know others and establish deeper relationships doing something you like, vs. a quick networking meeting at a hotel or restaurant. Besides the networking opportunites for business and work, you will also improve your health and fitness. Hikes will tend to be 4-6 miles during the weekdays before or after work with options for longer hikes for those wishing to do so. It sure beats …
