""Prayer is necessary for salvation; and therefore God, who desires that we
should be saved, has enjoined it as a precept."

Ha isnt that pic of the kids juss great! Elijiah especially, see he digs open mouf pics too! wOoo! Anyway, hectic day today and my work load at work as piled up. I knew it would too! man! went from having nothing to like 2 big things. Ahh but i like being able to kinda kick back and do nothing. I am juss worn out so i will not be blogging much tonite. I juss finished reading the answers to the activity we did in confirmation class tonite. Now i got journals to read and saint projects. Theyre looking pretty good, im excited to read the saint projects the kids did and see what they got out of it.

So leslie and i were talking forever tonite after sre was over. We were outside talking till about 1030pm in the parking lot. We were talking a lot bout relationships and all that fun stuff. We were talking so much that for the first time in a while, i didnt get to go to prayer meeting. Wow, thas a first that happens. Usually, i never miss prayer meeting unless i really have to or need to. Leslie is juss a blessing ot have as my aide, she gave me some good advice too bout some good stuff. I totally appreciate her for juss coming all the way down from rowland heights every tues. juss to be w/the kids. She's a major asset to the class and i praise GOd for juss how committed she is. Im sure she's an inspiration to the kids.

Which brings me to this next point. Yall have seen that movie im sure 'dangerous minds.' You know the movie whurr michelle pheifer becomes a teacher and builds relationships w/her students. That movie is inspiring cuz she became their light in their world of darkness. She made teaching/learning fun. However, she still was able to draw that line between teacher/student. I think my favorite part in the movie is when she gave the raul $200 to pay back the guy he bought the leather jacket from. The only request she asked for in return is that rauls pays her back by finishing hs and graduating. He told her later on that was the nicest thing anyone has ever done for him. The movie juss basically shows you the rewards in teaching. The rewards and the benefits you receieve can never be lost.

Highlight of the day:We started class of by singing praise & worship songs. I tuaught them a while ago that song 'By your side.' We sang that like twice and then i gave them an incentive for the group who sings the loudest and particiaptes the most gets to leave early. Then i intro. to them 'This is how we overcome.' Ha, the spirit was totally movin after we were done singing. They were dancing and singing and oh man it was great! They were so funny when they would do the 'turn' to the 'you ahve turned my mourning into dancing.' LIke toni says it was juss one of those kodak moments. I love my confirmation kids, and i know even more blessings ate to come once youf alpha starts! wooo! i told leslie im so excited to see them when theyre able ot make their confirmation. God has great plans for them, i love it!


Stop drooling...yeah you!

"Jesus what a beautiful name, Son of GOd SOn of Man Lamb that was slain..."im done, im out God bless!
