What a Week!

Wow, I have been so busy, I haven't posted in a while, so I'll try to catch up on all that's been going on.

Just a few minutes ago, we got home from our mid-week church service, where we had a guest speaker. Dan Cathy, who is the president and owner of Chick-fil-A, spoke about his background, growing up in a very Godly family and how Christ has influenced his life and his ideas about business. He showed a training film for all his employees, set in Bible times, which shows a Jewish follower of Christ choosing to carry a Roman soldiers pack an extra mile. He closed by playing "How Great Thou Art" on his dad's trumpet. His dad, the founder of "Chick-fil-A, is now 87 and still teaches a middle school Sunday School class. He had quite a message, and I was impressed with his committment to conduct business "God's way"!

This week has been "Talent Show Week" at school, and I've been astounded by the talent our kids have! This was not just typical kids stuff...we had big and little kids perform skits and dances and routines that could compete with things I've seen on TV! One little 6 year old boy did a dance he made up himself that was INCREDIBLE! This picture is of two girls who danced to the song "Dance Like David Danced"...they were awesome, too.

My mom had knee surgery last Friday, and I had a difficult time not being there for her. Thankfully, Stacey has been there to see to her every need, even taking time off work the day of the surgery. There really wasn't much I could do being so far away, except pray of course, but I was so glad to hear it went well. Stacey tells me she's doing so well, that she's even walking without her walker already...my amazing mother!


Last weekend, we headed up into the Hill Country, to go to the Lavendar Fest with some friends. It was a nice cool day in the low 80's, and we stopped along the way at some small towns that were having local festivals. We finally got to the Lavendar Fest, which was held at a beautiful farm where they had music, crafts and food available. It was fun to spend a relaxing day in the country.
