I need to step things up!

Well, again this isn't a first time things, but it is a stretching experience.  Anyone who knows me well knows that while I can work with children and have done so in the past, God really left the mother gene out when he placed me together.  Not to say that I don't enjoy taking care of people, I do! But there is something about little munchkins running around that puts me a tad out of my element.  I think it's slowly changing, but every time my turn for children's church comes around I go "AH!" internally and pray that the children are away visiting distant relatives.  Sleeping babies are different thing, I could sit with one for hours.

My spot on the roster rolled around this past Saturday night and so I decided (I'll admit, during the worship before we were dismiss to teach) to use my God given joy in arts-n-crafts and so we created

POP UP TOMB!

It actually was a lot of fun to create and reiterating truths simply was refreshing and a good way to ponder them for myself.  Jesus is not in the tomb anymore.  Jesus is alive!

Flashback to 8th Grade

Today I went roller blading at a public "rink" in Parki Azadi.  Mix a lot of dust, concrete, Hillary Duff and semi-working roller blades and you have a really enjoyable hour available for about $2.50.  We, the white roaming attractions did draw some stares (plus I was wearing this extra long sweater so I felt like I was wearing a cape) and I did have a semi-fall (if thats what you call awkwardly balancing on all fours and twirling in a circle).  There is no documentation of this even, however we plan on going back in the very near future.  For, not only do they have rollerblading but they have a work out sections and benches shaped like leaves the fruit. Photo op?  I think so!
