Why Hello!

Hello who are you and just where did you come from? Just kidding you were there all of the time weren't you...I was the one missing. Well hello! I really hope you are doing fine. I am fine thanks for asking.

If I saw you while I was in Illinois please make this note to yourself...the pleasure was truly and deeply all mine. I am so thankful for friends who are will to see my faults and not kick me out in a melting snow drift. It was like a breath of fresh spring air to be around such lovely well rounded thoughtful folk...yes even you...especially you!

Life is just happening here. I mean really I can not think of anything to tremendously out of the ordinary to tell you. I do know that I am so grateful for all of the people I work with. They are all trying to get used to me and they are being very gracious in the process. I must continue to realize that I have not even been here very long. I just love the home that I am living in. I just wish I could get you to come and visit me. I do have a guest room you know. Further more I really just enjoy teaching art class. Every once in a while I catch a glimps of hope in the lives of my students. This makes me want to just weep. Their potential is out of this world...I hope I can help guide them to a life long love of Jesus.

You remember that snow drift you didn't kick me out into? Well I've been thinking about how much God cares for me. He really does. If He cares for me so much how can I do any less for those around me? No one is worthy of being tossed in a drift. I do not want to be a tosser. Thanks to all of you who don't toss me even when it's probably what I deserve. Thanks be to my Father who does not toss me either yet rather gently scoops me up into His very capable arms. What reality! What bliss!
