The Play.....Song of Life

Well, it is finally over! This last Sunday our church put on the play "Song of Life." I am not really much of an actor, so I offered to help with the costumes and props and stuff like that. Emily was in it...... she was a Israelite, a Woman and an Angel. The play was only for Jr. High and up, so any Elementary School kids couldn't be in it. Every Sunday for the past 5 or 6 weeks I went to church at 3pm and usually left at about roughly 8 or 9pm. Plus 2 or 3 other times to just figure out some behind the scenes stuff. ( I end up staying to 10pm to my pleasure I love staying up late.) Jill the director, who is also our Sunday school teacher, was very fun to work with and I had a lot of fun. It was defiantly a lot of work, but I had fun with it. I like that kind of thing because you have a part in the play that is crucial, but you don't have to be up in front of people. We had a lot of good actors in the play........ God and Satan had big parts and did amazing with their parts. In the end everything went very smoothly and ya know some little errors, but that will always happen. We gave Jill flowers and a gift certificate to Red Lobster. Thanks for everyone who came to it (Millers and G-ma and G-pa H..)

Be Thankful...........

This is something my Dad got from somewhere and hung it up in our school room so, I thought I might share it with you.

"Be thankful...... for the mess to clean after a party because it means you have been surrounded by friends."

"Be thankful....... for the clothes you wear that fit a little to snug because it means you have enough to eat"

"Be thankful........ for the lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning, gutters that need fixing because it means you have a home."

"Be thankful....... for the spot you find at the end of the parking lot because it means you are able to walk."

"Be thankful........ for the piles of laundry and ironing because it means your loved ones are close by."

"Be thankful........ for the alarm that goes off in the early morning hour because it means that you are alive."

I you are a kid like me make your own (because most of these refer to adults) like this one.....

Be thankful....... for the clothes that disappear from your closet because you know your sister (brother doesnt fit this one that well) is having fun somewhere and she feels beautiful.

Make your own and write them on the comments.

Be thankful.... for the...............................because it means...........................

On The Job

This soccer season my Dad is coaching the EMHS JV girls soccer team. This year since I am getting homeschooled he asked me to be his manager. Yesterday, was my first day on the job. Even though he coachs the JV team he has 6th, 7th and 8th graders on his team and that is it. So some of my friends are on the team mostly 7th graders. I also get 5o$ to help out. Well I'll tell you what I have to do...... I have to fill waterbottles, get balls and pennies. Then at the practice I fill in if there is not enough players (which I think is not so pretty) and put cones up and shag balls. I like to do this because I am around people and I fell like I am useful!
