October is here!

Another month has begun and it seems like September slipped away. This month is packed with youth/children's events, breaks, vacation and b-days. As I peer over my desk I see a mountain of items that need to be moved to their proper location and it seems like my office is more of a receiving room for Fedex, UPS and USPS here lately.

My latest endevor is to figure out and study a 5th-6th Ministry. Wither we as parent's like to admit it our 5th and 6th grade children are at different maturity levels that we were at their age. Labeled "Preteen" or "Tweens" we can see a visible difference. At times they seem to be childlike and do things we might have done at their age but then there are times they act more like a teenagers. What a strange spot Children's Ministries find themselves now. I will let you know how that turns out.

Things are calming down for a bit now on the home front as in our kids activities. Homework seems to be taking the place of late nights with Micah. Last night he was suppose to construct a map and make a legend. All on his own he created "Christian Island". It had places like "Baptism Lake", "Christ World" (kind of like Holiday World) and many other things. This island was cross shaped and all. I thought it was kind of neat to see him make something like that with his own mind. Me and Buffy had to color it so he could get to bed before 10.

See ya until next time...
