Cool Stuff

1. The Emperor's New Clothes. We went to a children's production of the fable at Regent. It was hysterical. The play was performed in the studio theater where the audience is almost part of the show because we are so close. It was lot of fun for Danny especially. I was proud of "my" Regent students!
2. Geoffrey's new camera. He saved his mowing money and his computer consulting fees and bought a Canon Rebel Digital SLR camera, telephoto lens and camera backpack. It is an amazing camera, and he's already been put to work at church taking pictures for the church website.
3. Shoeboxes. Every year we fill two shoeboxes for Samaritan's purse. Danny has fun picking out the toys and school supplies. I have fun shopping for girly stuff. We think about the children who will get the boxes and wonder where they will live - China - Ukraine - Honduras - Poland - Phillipines? We pray they will learn about Jesus and that they will be thrilled with their little presents. We hope they know we love them!
4. 33 Miles concert. Our friend Andy was setting up a church for a concert and took Geoff along to be a roadie for the day. They put him to work, even changing cables on the stage during the show. He also got a preview of the church's new sanctuary with the million + dollar sound system and all of the Macs that Geoff had worked on.
5. Student Council. Danny's having a ball being part of the student council this year. He never misses a meeting and is hoping to participate in the first read-a-thon sleep over at KMES.
6. My new job. There is always something interesting. We had chapel with the owner of the Miami Dolphins last week. My first enewsletter goes out next week. I wrote the indexes to a new book about family therapy. I helped a professor edit a journal article.
