Good news... and questions

aren't my flowers pretty? They make me smile...

so do these guys...

Walk on water, blow up soda bottles, make oobeleck, make grape cows, sing songs, new friends, make your own incredi-ball, live band, walk through Jerusalem, all while discovering more about your faith, more about yourself, more about your community. Love this time of year.

It is exhausting. But it also fills me up for a whole year. Hard to describe how incredible it is.

How fun it is. How meaningful. How emotional. It is not preachy, overbearing, or exclusive. It is simply a community of people who want to do the next good thing every day.

It is the best part of my year.

Now, on to the questions..

Ok, so bloglines is gone. Not every blog I read has a rss feed. Do I need to get one for this one?

Can anyone fill me in?

Healing better than expected = brace unlocked and driving!! :) (without the brace). Can't describe how much better that makes me feel, even if I'm only driving 2 miles to school/church.

Still need to pace myself though, that is hard to do, especially this time of year with all the Vacation Bible School work that needs to be done. I have crossed a lot off the list, right off the list. I have delegated more. I have probably forgot a bunch too. The good news is we will still all have fun. :)
