Yeah I have nothing clever to put into the title today. It’s library this morning and church tonight. I don’t know if the Man will go to his class tonight or not. He probably will, since he is off work. I was wondering if he would want to take his son, too. I kind of hope not. He would miss church and it’s a mighty long evening for him *and me* if we all go tonight. Besides, I think 3 days a week is PLENTY for my son to be in jiu jitsu and have to pay attention. I like to break it up with other things like church and the library.
Unfortunately, he is graduating out of the library class this summer since he is 5 now. The next thing I will be looking into is the summer day camp program at our church. I think it’s free but they collect offering every day they are there. So I will have to figure out how much I can give since they are going to be taking care of my son during half the day and reinforcing what I am teaching him about God at home. That alone is priceless, to me.

So we did attend church yesterday. It was really good. I enjoyed the pastor. He reminds me of one we had a few years back, but with more gusto. The people were still very nice. I saw a few people from our own neighborhood. We attended early enough that we both got to go to the Sunday school before church started. He had a blast. I was happy to find other people that are adults to talk to HAHA. One of them homeschools like I do. She is on her last of 4 children.
They finished the play they started the other day about Jesus and the 3 days to resurrection. It was pretty good. They worked well with what they had. My son was excited to see Jesus was risen, but then he was bolting for the door. He isn’t used to sitting in church like that. He is used to having kids church. Since it was Easter Sunday, all the kids were in the sanctuary. Next Sunday he will have a better time, I am sure.
I see places in the church that I could be of use, too. They seem to need some more people for their worship team. I found myself wishing that I could be more like a wall sconce of the church. Pretty on the wall, no one really notices, and serving a silent function. The way God has made me, though, that would never happen. I am always looking for the places I am needed in the church with my specific gifts. I am just waiting on the Lord to lead me to the places He wants me to be. So far, He has called me to this church. God only knows what’s next.

We made it in plenty of time to enjoy all the fun they had planned for the day. I was really surprised at how they went all out to make sure the kids had a memorable day. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera 2 years in a row *doh!*
Everything was scheduled out to a T. The kids were split into age groups for everything. There were presentations, the story of Easter, egg races, relay races, the egg hunt *of course*, food, a movie, and prizes. The only thing missing was a giant trampoline.
Taz found 15 eggs, I think…most of which had candy he is allergic to *doh!*. He also got a prize egg which meant he got a gift certificate for a free side order at KFC. He loves their mashed potatoes so I guess that will be his prize.
The church is a good size and they have a great kids program that lasts until they are 12 years old, then they switch over to youth group. I am excited to see what they have for tomorrow. We are going back and I am hoping that it cements the foundation that they laid today. I believe we may have found our church.

My mother just informed me that Cheryl passed over this morning. Please keep her family and friends in your prayers throughout this time.

I was informed that Cheryl (i spelled it wrong last time) is being moved to a hospice b/c they dont think she would survive the trip from University of Penn hospital back to her house. It’s only a matter of time now. The cancer spread from her kidneys and liver to the rest of her body. Please pray for peace for her and her family. This is so unexpected. They only found out 3 months ago that she had cancer and now she is nearly gone. I don’t even know what to say.

my mother’s best friend Shirl is in the hospital with cancer on her kidney and her liver. We just found out today that she has been in the hospital for a week and last night she nearly died. Today my mother and I are asking for prayers for her 17 year old daughter, her husband, and of course Shirl herself. My mother is about to break down…I am on the phone with her now. We have known her for more years than her daughter has been alive and this is more than heartbreaking.

Thank God for abundance! This past week we were blessed to have money left over from our check even after spending money on things we needed…like renewing our car insurance. We have been struggling so much with finances of late, it was good to get out and do whatever we wanted without worrying about the bank account. We ended up with plenty of money left over till the next paycheck. Thank the Lord. I was getting so tired of just getting by. I think that 2008 is our year for abundance!
