ESS Letter of Interest

  Dear ESS West Licensing team, Thank you for the opportunity to hopefully become a substitute teacher in the Clackamas County and Washington County school systems.   I look forward to starting as soon as possible.   I believe my educational and professional background will help benefit the students I may teach.   I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Florida in 1977.   I then moved to Portland, Oregon in June 1978.   In 1980, I was accepted to the Oregon Health Sciences University School of Dentistry, where I graduated with a DMD degree in June 1984.   Soon after my graduation, I started my dental career practicing at the Russell Street Clinic, while concurrently working at Aetna Insurance, processing dental and medical claims.   In July 1985, I began practicing dentistry full time at Willamette Dental Group until my retirement this past October in 2023.   At Willamette Dental Group, I was a vital membe...

March Check-In

In March, I read daily the following according to God's establishment commandment: Romans through Revelation twice per week 1 Chronicles through Acts Genesis through 2 Kings In addition, I listened to the new Romans TSABS lessons seven and eight, and 2 John thru Revelation Six in the old school.  Today I would like to discuss the simple word "BOTH." I think that most would consider it to imply two. Noah Webster, in fact, defines it as:  BOTH , adjective Two as considered distinct from others or by themselves; the one and the other.  However, the Bible, being all authority, will dictate how the word is and should be defined. Let us look at two passages of scripture: Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness; and, Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: Obviously, in each case the word, BOTH, refers to more than tw...

February Check-In

I read daily according to God's establishment commandment the following in February: Romans through Revelation twice per week 2 Kings 21 through Acts Genesis through 2 Kings In addition, I listened to lessons five and six of the new Romans TSABS lessons and the 1 Peter, 2 Peter and 1 John lessons in the old school.  I also listened to the WELCOME HOME Dragomir recording, rejoicing to know that he his finally with family.  Love you brother! There are many things I learned, but today I will focus only on one.   Many times I have read 1 Corithians 10:7:  Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. However, I never was able to see the connection between idolatry, and eating and drinking and rising up to play.  I knew that the verse was referring to Exodus 32:6: And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to ...

January Check-In

Being thankful and joyful, I read daily according to God's establishment commandment the following in Jauary: Romans through Revelation twice per week 2 Kings 18 through Acts Genesis through 2 Kings 20. In addition, I listened to the first four lessons of the new Romans TSABS lessons and the Hebrews and James lessons in the old school.   There are many things I can write about, but today I will touch on Paul. The importance of looking at all scripture today through the eyes of Paul and reading according to God's establishment commandment cannot be emphasized enough.  How else can one rightly divide the word of truth?  Paul, my brother, my apostle, my pattern. From his conversion in Acts 9 to his martyrdom in 2 Timothy 4, Paul clearly demonstrates that he is the pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him (Christ) to life everlasting. He exemplifies God's eternal purpose of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ living and being magnified in his body.  Paul ...
