WORDS TO LIVE BY
Speak up for those who cannot speak up for themselves,
for the rights of all who are destitute.
Speak up and judge fairly;
defend the rights of the poor and needy.
Proverbs 31:8-9

TODAY'S QUOTE
There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL
This evening was the first evening of vacation Bible school. Doug and I are both assistants in the Pre-K class. We began the evening with all classes in the Family Life Center for worship, games, a short drama and announcements. The theme this year is SonSpark Labs.
Then the classes went to their individual classrooms for the rest of the evening. It was a bit hectic since it was the first evening but it was also fun.
YARD AND GARDEN
Saturday we spent quite a bit of time in the garden. It was hot so we did the work in short bursts but I was pleased with what we got done. I planted five rows of potatoes, four rows of onions, and two more rows of turnips. Doug tilled between to rows of the more established plants to knock down the weeds. The kids helped here there between there games in the yard.
WORKING, LEARNING, AND PLAYING TOGETHER
This morning we took the kids to play on one of the elementary school playgrounds. It was hot and we didn't stay real long but it was a nice change.
We took lunch along and ate there before coming home.
This afternoon I was at my sister's for several hours. Michael took bubbles along to blow.
It was hot today but the kids still enjoyed playing outside. Some of the things they were play ball games, play with dolls and play with the puppies.
OUT AND ABOUT
Our out and about the last few days has consisted of grocery shopping, checking out a new Goodwill store, picking up pet supplies at the pet store, stopping at the dollar store, and (the best part) church Sunday morning.
