So, I got to substitute 5th grade yesterday and I loved it! Elementary kids are so cute...and heartbreaking at the same time. I saw one of my boys crying in the hall yesterday and it broke my heart. What must a heart be going through at the age of 10 to cause tears as such? Unfortunately with the way the world is today I don't even want to ponder the possibilities too long. I was glad to get to ask him if he was doing OK, but sad to know that the bell was ringing to wisk him off to his next class so I could not find out more...

God is changing my heart...in ways I would not have imagined. He is such an amazing God.

Oh, and apparently I look Mexican. I can't count how many of the kids asked me if I was Mexican yesterday...ha ha. Never a dull moment up until the final bell rung...I even walked away with a "rockin" American flag peace tatoo from one of my boys. Now is that what life is all about or what?
On the boy, eh hem, man note, Jonathan met the fam yesterday and is was good. We took a little boat ride and ate dinner lake side and it was nice. My mom is in town and so far my "spawn of satanness" has not emerged. Only by the grace of God and the prayers of the many faithful I am blessed to have in my life. Thanks God.

I had a request tonight for a picture of Jonathan. So, here we are...

It only gets better every day.
