The Kids I Keep

One of the things I do during the month is to take care of some kids who don't live with me!

The Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS) program at my church is one of the things that helped me get established after I moved to Virginia, and one of the things that kept me going as a young mom. To be able to give something back to other young moms going through similar circumstances--like watching their children for a few hours--is one of the small things I can do to make something of today.

Here's a short video I made with the kids and some of their fellow playground mates.

Moms, thank you for the privilege--they're great kids!

I assume you did this on CJ's video software?!? It is great! I love how the music "matches up" to the pictures! You must let us play this at the brunch, please.

Hope you don't mind me peaking before you had your "grand opening." I couldn't wait.

Congrats on your first blog. Love it!

Sue, You did a GREAT job on the video. I loved it! Rachel enjoyed watching it too. She is really going to miss you next year. She may opt to come see Ms. Sue rather than go to school!!
Thanks for all you do!

Post #100

L ong before we bloggers celebrated our first 100 posts, the psalmists provided us with theirs. In recognition of my 100th, let's celebrate by looking at the Bible's "Post #100" (a.k.a., Psalm 100, A Psalm for Thanksgiving or Thank Offering): Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Surprisingly, there is no direct Hebrew translation for the English word 'joyful' as used in this verse in the King James Version. That leaves things a bit open to interpretation. My study Bible (NASB) says 'joyful' is "a shout of loyalty and homage." The dictionary defines 'joy' with the word rejoicing, meaning "to be made glad again." 'Noise,' however, does come with a Hebrew equivalent, meaning "to split the ears with sound," as in to shout, shout for joy. Lands implies all the earth, the nations, the world. We, those of all nations, are to present to the Lord, out of our loyalty and homage to Him, joyful shouts that...

Did You Find a Directing Sign?

  I drove downtown a couple weeks ago to make a hand-off to a friend who was hosting an event. As we traded a couple of quick comments trunk-side, she invited me to join in her activity. I thanked her but declined saying, "I've already made one trip downtown this week." I grew up living 20 miles away from New York City. Outside of my Dad bringing us in to work at his college or my aunt taking us to Broadway shows every so often, we almost never went there. Later, I worked in Chicago and managed the trains and buses in and out of the city for five years -- until I took a job in the 'burbs. Now, going to the city is largely for entertainment purposes, and I tend not to be the driver for those occasions. Despite what you might be intimating, I do not dislike cities. They truly do have a quality and magnetism all their own. But me DRIVING in the city is another story entirely. And life today seems like a nonstop ride in the city.
