MISC.

so much has happened since my last post. Here goes....


MY DAUGHTER THE DOCTOR...

Ashley hit a milestone this week. She turned 21. She has grown into such a wonderful young lady who loves the Lord with all her heart and seeks to follow him daily. We are so proud of the way she conducts herself and her heart for the lost and her desire to serve. I believe this attitude is what has prompted her to consider medical school. She is considering this and chose pediatric oncology as a possible speciality. Any family with a sick child would be blessed to have her as their doctor.

WRITING CONFERENCE...
Everyone I have spoken to recommends that aspiring writers attend a writer's conference to have a book published. I am attending a Christian's Writer's conference this weekend. Most of you know that I have written a children's book for little girls about beauty. I have also started 2 more children's books this week. One is called "I asked God Why". It is about a little girl's conversation with God. The other is called "Skipping Through The Bible." It is about a little girls who skips everywhere she goes. She dreams one night that she is "skipping" through the Bible and meets some interesting characters.

THE POWER OF WORDS...
I realized this week how words can make you happy. This week I was teaching at the middle school. I brought candy and even allowed the students to have some "fun" in class. Don't get me wrong...they had to complete their work. One student came up to me afterwards and said "Mrs. T...you're my favorite sub...you understand us." That made me feel so good. Maybe my experience in youth ministry aids me in my subbing. Alex made me laugh the other day with his words. We were on our way home from a doctor's appoinment. I asked him if his foot ever hurts. His reply was "Yes...every billioneth step."
