No real title here

Wednesday was my first time teaching Operation Space and I think it went pretty well! A friend at church and I both taught together. We only had 6 kids... but I think that was just the right amount to be able to handle. There were different activities during the hour we had the kids, including a memory verse, an "action cube" game where the kids rolled a action cube and whatever picture it landed on a story was read and the kids had to determine if the people in the story obeyed God or not, 2 craft projects, and snack time. One of the crafts was pretty simple, just coloring the planets, cutting them out and gluing them on black paper, but one kid was super creative and instead drew a sun, cut it out, and then glued all the planets on the sun to signify the "planets orbiting the sun." I was so amazed at the creativity! The kids were pretty good and attentive, but at times it was difficult to get everyone to listen so I can't really imagine what it would have been like had there been a lot more kids! I might have had a meltdown or something, although lets hope not. Anyways, next Wednesday we are teaching again, so keep us in your prayers! :)

In other news, I bought a new lamp today. I have a real and truely almost sick but totally amazing obsession with lamps. I bought it at Annie Laurie's Antiques in Cape Girardeau.

Tomorrow is one of my friends wedding in Ste. Genevieve, MO. So, thats exciting! Not much else is going on in my life at the moment. Hope it stays that way for a little while... it's kind of nice!

  1. I love hearing about the kids! Yes, that was a super creative idea for him to come up with :) Do you have a collection of lamps then? Sounds like an awesome hobby!

  2. Thank you for working with children! All kids need positive role models to teach them the Truth. I'll be in Cape in April for the annual Teen Challenge banquet so I'll make sure to check out Annie Laurie's for good deals (the Teen Challenge thrift store is my favorite place to shop when I am in town). I hope that everyone had a great time at the wedding.
