Proverbs 11.1, A FALSE balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight.
Proverbs 16.11, A just weight and balance are the LORD’S: all the weights of the bag are his work. Proverbs 20.23: Divers weights are an abomination unto the LORD; and a false balance is not good.

Before I came to Oklahoma, I ran the kitchen at the HeadStart in Iola. HeadStart is an Early Childhood program of SEKCAP (South East Kansas Community Action Program). Sekcap is funded through a variety of sources including local, state and federal grants, as well as multiple types of donations and support. So yes, I actually worked for the government. HeadStart serves income eligible families and their children from ages 0-5 at no cost to the family. Children with developmental disabilities, special needs, and “high risk” families are common in this program, and it is there to provide every child the “head start” they need in life to excel as they get into school. HeadStart required a lot of training and especially after being in other daycares and preschools, I highly respect their ways of doing things. I loved my job and adored those kids. One of the worst things I have had to do was tell my kids that I was leaving on my last day after being with two years’ worth of preschoolers/daycare children and their families. I knew every one of them by name. I spent all day with them, five days a week. I knew what they ate, what they would not touch, and what they wished they were eating. I knew what made the kids open up, and what conversations to avoid. I knew these kid’s family’s, and through it, a lot of their backgrounds. I enjoyed my daily hugs and playtime. Yes, I got paid to play with toys with the kids. It was awesome. Looking back, I gained so much from working there. Daycare prepared me so much for college. Preschoolers taught me so much about college kids.
