Today was chapel day. I was conned into being in the Gospel Choir several weeks ago. We have been practicing, but every time someone was missing or someone new would show up, so it was very difficult to learn the songs. We were all nervous and not singing to our fullest because it was supposed to be a gospel choir for Black History Month and we only had two black people in the choir. So needless to say, we were freaking out. Today was the big day. We performed in chapel, and we had soul! It was VERY fun, nerve racking, but fun. I can't wait to do it next year. But hopefully we won't have as many problems. Thank you Jesus for getting us through.
Well, until we meet again, Adieu.

I'm a Chicken
Sunday in church our music leader, Rooth (Ruth), asked us to stand up and tell what God has been doing in out lives. Sorry, Ruth, I'm a big chicken and I didn't stand up, but I wanted to say something.
This week, God has been challenging me and I wanted to say that even through the challenges we grow and God shows us things. So thank you Lord for the good times and the challenging times.

Babysitting and Birthdays
My cousin Keaton had a birthday party today. He is the big "4." Kids grow up entirely too fast. I thought Keaton was 3. I lost a year somewhere. Then the family went out to our cabin on Eleven-Point River in Arkansas. It was pretty much a muddy sloppy mess and flooding as well. This was all to celebrate my Uncle Glen's birthday. Have you ever noticed that everything tastes better when you are camping? We had delicious roast and chicken. But not ordinary roast and chicken, oh no. We had camping roast and chicken...much better...
I watched Keaton and his sister Chloe tonight at my Aunt Ronda's. They are so precious. We colored, painted, played with toys in the bathtub, watched movies, played on the computer, made jewelry, and read. Chloe is in kindergarten so she is learning to read and write and I am a very proud cousin. She has been writing my name all week since she learned I was going to be babysitting. So tonight she gave we three or four pictures with "I love you Katy and only you Katy." She read a whole book to me and I just listened in awe. It actually brings tears to my eyes to think that I was at the hospital when Chloe was being born and now seeing her learn these things makes my heart burst with joy.
The hightlight of my night was cuddling up with Chloe on the couch and reading her Mother Goose. She slowly fell asleep while Keaton was bouncing off the walls, and still is.
I love to just sit and watch kids. I was sitting on the couch watching Keaton. He had his little Fruit of the Loom whitie tighties on with no shirt. I was just looking at his little skinny arms and legs, and thinking how beautiful he was.

Facing the Giants
Tonight, the wonderful "Class," meaning the college age Sunday School class got together at the leader's house and watched Facing the Giants. The girls cried and the boys made boo-hoo noises and made fake sniffles. Things we got out of the movie: Billy is now going to have a sucker in his mouth at all times because of the Giants coach, Dan is going to start saying "Oh Dan" when something frustrating happens, and Steve is going to continue to point out "Billy sweaters."
My favorite scenes in the movie were 1) when the Eagles coach made the leader of the team do a death crawl the whole length of the football field 2) when the coach and his wife finally found what was making there house smell. The coach scared the wife and I thought it was cute 3) when the crippled dad stands up for his son at the field goal 4) when the assistant coaches are putting up the uniforms and joking with the head coach 5) the duct tape on the coaches grill and 6) when a player and his dad gets the coach a new truck.
On a serious note, this is not just a football movie with the team Giants. It's about all of us having our own giants to face and overcoming those giants. But even more it's about giving God our all and loving him and trusting him with all of our hearts.
It is always wonderful to get together with Christian friends and I am very blessed to have a great church family. Thank you Ruth and Steve for letting us use your home and being so hospitable.

The Blogger Bug Has Bitten
I am finally a part of the blogger world. It took me forever because I couldn't think of a name, but it is now official. I am fabulous at being myself, so there it is. Another name I thought of was "What's in a name." -William Shakespeare, but I decided to be a little more original than that. I am going to warn everyone that I may not be regular and the posts may sometimes be short, but I will post.
Well, until we meet again, Adieu.
