Welcome to the homepage of
Paul L. Sirvatka

So you want to know something about me, eh? Well, to start with I have lived in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, just about all my life. Despite what most kids growing up here claim, it really is a great place to live. A little flat (compared to my favorite state - Colorado) and generally fewer tornadoes than my favorite place to be in May (Texas) and the taxes may be high, but I have come to love the security and the people of this town. Plus it is where I work and I love my job -- teaching meteorology at College of DuPage. (By the way...you could go to the school's homepage but I would rather have you visit the place I call homepage.)

My Life and My Priorities!
The first is obviously my relationship to Jesus Christ. At least I hope it is obvious. My life is far from perfect... in fact, the closer I grow toward God, the more I realize how not perfect I am. Just be sure to know this...I do not claim to be good, just forgiven!
 
My family, and especially my wife, Cathy, are second most important! I am truly blessed with all of them, whom I love very much. Cathy does web design and other graphic and photographic arts. Thank you Cathy, for my life and for giving me grace when I deserve it the least. In fact, isn't that what grace is all about?.
I am involved in the college and music ministries at Glen Ellyn Bible Church, in Glen Ellyn (where else?!). What a great place! I have grown spiritually and relationally because of everything that goes on there. Great people and the right objective - growing in Spirit and truth. 
  My job of teaching is very important to me. I could not think anything that I would rather do! And I love meteorology. To combine both is great. But to combine my greatest passion as part of my job is unbelievable! To me, meteorology teaches humility, something all the other sciences could learn a little about. Since no one can consistently predict tomorrow's weather, why should we expect other sciences to be immune from mistakes? 
I love many sports, especially baseball! 
Go Cubs! (I've been a fan since 1967!) Talk about humility!!
