My Violin and Mr. Brauninger

One of the great benefits of a Christian school here is the music program. TC has a wonderful~awesome~music staff! We are privileged to have as our violin/guitar teacher Mr. Kent Brauninger. He is so awesome and he has a great sense of humor! He is teaching Morgan and Ethan, and would you believe, he has accepted me too! We are preparing to play Christmas carols at a cool mall here close. Should be cool! Have a great week!

The GLORY of it!

Having lived in Venezuela for the past 11 years, I am absolutely glorying in the change of seasons. God is so amazing in His creation! In Venezuela, we have one season: hot (oh…I forgot to mention that in Dec.-Jan., it gets about 1 degree cooler =} ). Yesterday, as I drove home from the library (another glorious American tradition—folks, you just don’t know how good you have it!), I was delighted to see autumn leaves swirling in the brisk (there’s just no other word for it!) October-almost-November breeze! Those leaves beg to be played in, and that is just what my little ones did yesterday…won’t they love it when they get to unpile raked leaves! (When someone has the TIME to do that~this American pace has us running ragged!). Have a wonderful November 1 (All Saints Day)! Praise God for my justification before Him, making me a saint!
