Have you ever just jumped in to do a project that looking back on you would never ever do again? I was reminded of a "could have been a disaster" idea that actually worked well but could have gone so wrong. I am a teacher, and I taught two classes of gifted students as well as four other classes of algebra and geometry. Well, my gifted classes wanted to do a project, and so we used spare minutes in class to cut (with a rotary cutter!) strips of fabric, and sewed together a quilt. Then we raffled it off and used the money to buy item for foster children in our county. It went beautifully, but since then I have cut my finger twice with a rotary cutter so severely that I needed stitches. Now I look back and think how in the world did I let those teenagers use a rotary cutter. I guess God smiles on the silly!
