Spatterings

Showers..
2am woke up to huge water droplets pounding the roof. immediately knew my mom had received my e-mail to pray for more rain. thanked the Lord. please, continue to pray for rain. it is only supplied by the All-Powerful God. i wouldn't want it from any other source.

Spring Break...
i've now been officially on break for 2&1/2 hours. praise the Lord! pray for lots of good rest. i will have things to do though - tomorrow is an all Weno high schools' athletic day, Saturday is an ordination for two Logan leaders, next week Elvis is taking me on a tour of Weno, Easter weekend i'm going to Falos island with my church for fellowship, baptisms, and sunrise service.

Speech #1...
i know it's their first time and hopefully they will know it too. if they were prepared, they did okay for it being their first time. many of them are just lazy, yes, even in the AP classes. if they had used their time wisely in preparation then this day wouldn't have been so stressful for them. thank you for praying for them. please, pray that when school starts back up i will be encouraging to them and know how to teach them what i'm looking for and what a well done speech looks like. pray that their confidence increases. they have at least two more speeches to go. their next speech i am definitely not letting them use notes.

Sophomores...
i told two of my sophomores today that they "crack me up." because of their confused looks, i asked them if they knew what i meant. DS said, "of course. we break you up into little pieces." that, of course, made me laugh even harder. i explained that it meant they made me laugh really hard. the remainder of the class they told their classmates how much they cracked each other up. i thought it was so funny! great, now i'm cracking myself up!

Senior Retreat...
i forgot to mention that last weekend the retreat was cancelled due to lack of rain. rain is our main source of water on Weno but for the island of Tol it is their only source of water. it has been rescheduled for April 21st, the weekend after spring break.

Session with parents...
today's conferences had only about 25 parents in attendance. how it works is that we all meet in the sanctuary for updates from director (Mr. C.) and principal (Mr. K.O. aka Elvis). then the report cards are distributed and if the parents have a question, concern, or comment about a grade they can come and talk with the teacher. none came to me. the ones that came to ana on my right and junotte on my left were all smiles and friendly faces though. so thanks for your prayers. it worked, I guess. just not what I expected.

Spouse...
because it started with an 's' too. thanks.

i change the lyrics to "God is so good" sometimes and sing "God is so cool" and whenever i say "cool" it's dramatically emphasized. i think it will be the next big thing for christian contemporary hits. what do you think? sing "God is so cool" today. it will bring smiles to your faces and healing to your bones.

love, k.
