1. I have a sore throat.  The only thing worse than having a winter cold is having a spring or summer cold.  It just seems wrong.
   
2. I am ready for school to be over LOL.  I have Spring Fever, I guess.  My kids are already done with a few subjects, but we are behind in others.  I am hoping to finish by the end of May when the public schools here get done.  Spenser has already started on math for next year, because he likes being ahead.  He is doing Geometry and seems to enjoy it more than Algebra I.
   
3.  Our children's ministry at church is still growing.  We had 7 new children and youth this Wednesday, which was exciting!  I think we had 37 total there this week-- 10 youth and 27 children.  What you have to understand about our Wednesday church, is we probably only had 27 adults there Wednesday night, give or take a few.  So this is an amazing ministry God has given to us.
   
4. The neatest thing about this ministry is that we are in waayyyyy over our heads-- and are therefore completely dependent on God for every aspect of the ministry: the finances, the staff, the discipline.
   
5. Our biggest problem has been discipline-- how do you discipline kids at church who are way out of control?  I don't want to send them home because they desperately need to be there.  This week I had a man ask me what he could do to help, so I put him in charge of work detail.  Anyone who was disruptive or disrespectful was sent to him, and he took them to sweep, pick up trash, etc.  This was great-- it removed the disruption,  sent them the message that disrespect would not be tolerated, and gave Billy (the adult) a chance to talk to them one on one.  Score!
   
   
6. In case you haven't heard, there is a basketball tournament going on.  And my team is in it.  As a matter of fact, they should win the whole thing!  I hope!



7. I am not ready for Easter-- I don't have dresses or shoes for the girls and I haven't bought anything for the baskets.  I did buy Spenser a new button-down shirt the other night.  It was $9 at Walmart so it was hard to resist.
