AWANA!

We start back in the AWANA groove tonight, I'm so ready!  I THINK I am going to have girls this year!!  I have had boys only for the last 3 years and am looking really forward to having the scales evened out. I love having boys, and that fact that High School boys, who are supposed to be all rough and everything make the effort to spend Wednesday nights learning about what God wants for them. I am looking very forward to the new dynamic (and not being outnumbered!). Tonight is our planning/getting to know you night so it will be fun and interesting. Praying for a really great year for all our AWANA clubs as well as those over the rest of the world.

Happy to say we made it through September 11th again. I believe it will always be tough. Robert was in third grade and that was the day that me being able to say, "Things like that don't happen in our country" ended. I felt like it took some of his innocence and I know it took some of his security. I think what I find saddest is what it took to turn our nation to God and how quickly we have already looked away. I can't choose parties easily because of my job, I truly have to look at each individual person and what they stand for and many of them are Democrats, however, what happened at the Democratic convention broke my heart and scared me all at the same time. People, God will never turn his back on us, but if enough people turn their backs on Him, I am afraid we will see the results. We already do in so many ways but I don't remember ever seeing such a public outcry against our Lord. That scares me, REALLY scares me.

Just my two cents.
