My First Blog 1-13-08

Well, I am already 5 years behind the technological fads and venues that have taken over my thirteen year old's world, so I realized that I better catch up and at least create a blog. So its Sunday afternoon and four are napping-3 little ones and one big one-meaning Russ. I have an extra few minutes before feeding time again since I am playing human cow again this year and constant cook. I enjoy keeping a journal and love to read my friends blogs. So here goes. Today was an exciting day for Kids Church, since SIX kids got baptized this morning! Sue shared an amazing story about a miracle in Cuba for BGMC day. I played Dr. Oppenhiemerstein's second cousin twice removed, Lucille, (complete with wig and goggles) and performed a dangerous experiment demonstrating how Jesus took the punishment for our sins. I never seem to tire of telling the awesome story of how God sent His son to die for us. This week was exciting! Next Sunday hopefully will come quickly, because a new decade is starting for me. If you ask " Am I getting old turning thirty? " I reply, I am finally growing up. If only I could grow a few more inches with age. My goal this year is to run a few races and get this...participate in a Triathlon! Ha! I don't expect to win...just finish. I already feel like I'm the awesome race of life. With God sustaining me, anything is possible! I included a picture of my kids this Christmas-lots of stockings to fill!
