Prayer chain

Twice in one day. I know, I've outdone myself. I remembered a story that I thought you would all enjoy. I posted several weeks ago about having a 3rd grader put me on the prayer request list at her church. She is the librarian's daughter, fyi. So yesterday, this little girl (who is one of maybe 5 blondies in the school) tells me that she has put me on the prayer list again. She also said that her pastor reads the prayer requests out loud during the service. Excellent. I hope parents of other students and my co-workers also attend this church. Katrina ALSO informed me, very matter-of-factly, that being on her prayer chain should earn me more respect from the 3rd graders. Thank you Katrina, God bless you. It certainly can't hurt.

Sick Day

P.S. You are probably wondering what I am doing posting on my blog on a Tuesday morning. I took a mental health day today. I was coming down with another cold, so I figured it would do me good to rest up and not get re-infested by the little children right before my trip HOME! 

back from the lost

Edwin and I at South Padre Island on Saturday... where it was windy, the tide was high and the waves were huge, and everyone was coughing because of some weird algae in the air. Hence, we are sitting at Wanna Wanna, a little grass hut bar/restaurant. 

Pretty flowers I got from Edwin :) 

The wall around the Alamo. I was tempted to climb it- and wondered if this tree were around back then, maybe that's how the fort was invaded?!
