Week Two

Of the new quarter and the new year. Last week was all the same, so I didn't have much to post. By the time the week was finished, I could tell you how many students we had seen but it was in the hundreds. It felt like a Fall Quarter start, and we discovered that the numbers of students were only a few short of Fall. I bet we made those few up by the end of Friday.

Shirlyn and I were beat and all I could do was go home, get into a hot tub of water and soak. I drink some tea, and took a Tylenol... and promised myself to take care of myself all weekend. By Saturday evening I was feeling better.

Speaking of Saturday evening, we went to our church Vision Casting meeting for the new year. We had all been fasting in some way, and praying for direction. I couldn't fast with water only... or I would be dead now, but I did give up sweets and "distractions" such as my farming game Farm Town on Facebook for the week. It was a hard week to give up those things because I use them to get along in this world when things are rough.

Sunday evening was the first Royal Ranger Kids meeting for Riley and Brady. Kari and I spent some time out in the car while they were there at their meeting. We like to joke around and talk about things that are going on with us. For example, we dropped off the boys and we did the "bunny hop" dance a little, to celebrate the boys having an extra interest etc.

So now we are facing another full week ahead. We have MOPS tomorrow night, and I begin to lead a bible study on Wednesday nights. I am really excited about the study on Wednesday, it is on the Fruit of the Spirit. I will save the details to write about later.

Have a wonderful Monday... here we go... Week Two
