For your Saturday

Saturday nights

When I was little, my sister and I used to take baths on Saturday night, get all squeaky clean, brush our teeth, comb our hair, put on our fuzzy pink bathrobes and go sit in front of the TV. What were we waiting for? The Laurence Welk Show of course! We used to love to make fun of it: the orange suits, the big hair, the funny microphones, the face scenes, the jiggling jowls, the "seventiesness" of it all. However, I did like it when these four girls sang. I thought they were so pretty and I liked the way they harmonized with each other. I haven't watched the show in a long time, but I was thinking about maybe taking a bath tomorrow night brushing my teeth and combing my hair, putting my bathrobe on and sitting down in front of the TV to watch The Laurence Welk Show.

Let it Snow!

I am so glad I posted that last post because guess what? We got Snow! Lots of it too. I am so happy. So happy. So happy. It makes me want to go out and get in shape on the trails.

Winter?

So, I really did purchase this coat. I had in mind those extremely cold winter days when I go to school managing to be cold even in my Columbia coat. This coat is very warm, knee length, down, fur hood...etc. So yesterday I wore it to school for my first day.... it was 40 degrees. Hmmmm

I hope we get winter soon!

School

Today I started my Certified Nurses Assistant (CNA) program. I am very excited to learn all about taking blood pressure, temperature, making beds, brushing teeth, giving baths, talking with and caring for the elderly. I know it may not sound enchanting but it is wonderful to finally start doing some hands on, practical things. Plus, the room that we are meeting in looks like a simulated hospital floor, all decked out with mannequins, equipment and all!

I suppose technically a Candy Striper was a non-medical assistant but hey!

Bunnies and Girls

It always impresses me what you can find on the internet! This is exactly what my little girls and I made yesterday in clubs. They are little rabbits made out of washcloths with a bar of soap in them. The eyes are little googly glue on eyes, and the nose and tail are pom-poms. It was a lot of fun to make them, and the girls LOVED them afterward. However, I think the best part was having my dear friend Judy come and teach us how to make these little cute bundles. Judy taught me almost everything I know how to do that's crafty, so it's fun for me to see a new group of girls learning from her. Thanks Judy!

Thanks also for praying along with me yesterday. I think the girls were quite receptive to God's Word and you can pray with me again (a little bit more notice this time) for next week, which is our last time together. I will be giving them each a Bible and Fruit of the Spirit cards. I hope to help them know some good places to start reading and memorizing and you can pray that they will not be discouraged with their efforts. Please pray particularly for one of the girls who comes from a very very tough background and is quite needy, how much we all need God's help!

With love,

Club Day!

Today's subject at clubs is...

I know it is cliche, but it is one of the Fruits of the Spirit, so I don't really want to exclude it just because it is... well you know... cliche. The trick is to tie it back to Christ, and use it as a jumping pad for the Gospel. I know it's today, but if you read this before 3:30 monday, would you pray that the girls are impressed with the importance of the Gospel in their own lives and their need for the Jesus? Thanks for caring, with love, Cherry
