Please don't fire me from blogging, I simply have been too busy to take time. As the end of our ten day camp in Mode, IL came, I became aware of the speed of time. When I was younger, I remember camp lasting for a long time. I am beginning to understand those who are older and wiser. Yes, time does seem to fly and I need to stop a savour the sweetness of the precious time we have with those that we love. Why the dog, flightlight, and man? I had the joy of teaching the children at our church camp this year. Our theme was "Quest for Truth." Some of the songs were very precious. Sitting on the front row, watching/listening to the children sing "I want to trust Christ" brought tears to my eyes. Oh, how I hope that they give their lives to Jesus.
Faith Finders came to an end one week ago. It was sad to say good-bye to the precious children. Our last Sunday we had 25 children! We gave each child a Bible. They were all so sweet.
This next week we (Rachel, Lucas, and I ) will be heading to Florida. We're going to help Rachel move into her new apartment and we'll spend some time just "hangin." I'll also get to visit my wonderful friend, Kelli and her sweet family. I'm very excited!
It will probably be awhile before I report again. Try to stay cool! ;)

Thank you so much for your input into our children's lives, Jo! I don't think you can begin to know the impact your life is having.
Do enjoy your "down" time with Lucas and Rachel. We look forward to when you return.
Love ya!
Wow...25!! Have a wonderful and relaxing trip!
Amen to Laura's comment, you are such an important part of our boy's lives. More than once, some truth you've taught the boys comes out of their mouths and shocks me to death. I'll say, "where did you learn that?" They always reply, "Ms. Jo taught us." This week Josiah and Micah have been "sneaking" around the house equipped with magnifying glasses and hats on their quest for truth. It has been very common to hear them singing the "Quest for Truth" theme song at different times throughout the day. You are one fantastic teacher and our kiddos are BLESSED to have you in their lives.
Hope you all have a great time in Florida, I know you'll have a great time getting there. (I'd love to ride along sometime on a Ryder road trip.) :)
