Sunday ramblings

I went to chaperone the prom. What I got was the gig of chaperoning the prom AND supervising the clean-up process beginning at midnight. By the time I arrived home and found the pillow, it was 2:00 in the morning. I laughed thinking that I was re-living my own prom, getting home in the wee hours of the morning. Then, my lower back pain and joint discomfort pulled me back into reality. But, that's over now, and there's only a couple more weeks to teach these kids something. Next week, I'm tackling America's involvement in the Cold War. For some of my kids, they will probably think this was an actual war fought at the North Pole, but God has been popping on the light bulbs of some of these kids, and He's eventually going to turn on the switch for them all. It just takes time and patience.

Kate's doing well physically and emotionally (big Amen)! She's been slowly building up an exercise routine. She is going to go back in and see her students this week to say hello. They've been missing her, drawing her pictures and cards. We have a lot of them on our refrigerator. Aaron's team lost their ball game yesterday. He was 1-3 with a double. One of his best friends was on the other team. Aaron is the catcher. When his friend came up the plate, Aaron later told me that he had butterflies in his stomach for his friend. He wanted him to hit a homerun. I love his sportsmanship. It's never about winning or losing. As he grows up, I hope he remembers that. I'll do my best to remind him. Have a wonderful week. God bless.
