lenten fast
wow lent came early this year.
happy valentine's day.
and my birthday will be on good friday this year. maybe we won't have cake.
my 3,4,5 class and i are working our way through the voyage of the dawn treader.
they keep asking really good questions like
"what EXACTLY is going on?!"
they crack me up.
and i got a little lost when prince caspian was retelling the entire journey (that pissed me off, i really didn't get that part) and i told them and they said they were lost too and "could we draw a map?" and "what if i draw a picture of the ship that is actually helpful, could i do that?"
i said, in all honesty, "that would be amazing."
and, not to brag, or anything, but they also built models of church buildings and told us all about them and all the problems their parishioners were having, or not having, because the roof caved in or the walls were too high or there wasn't a wall where one might have been. i sat there with my mouth hanging open the whole time because they understand more about church buildings than most people do and especially because they kept bringing their explanations back to what would be best for the people inside or outside the church buildings because that is what really matters--the people.
in other news
my new year's resolution may have been about not trying to carry in too much stuff from the car so i won't drop things in the snow or mud. that is the way this year is turning out anyway.
so i gave up straining my eyes for lent. which is as much to say that i finally went to the eye doctor
he said this will only sting a little. and then when i complained he said he couldn't very well tell me that it was going to hurt like hell.
he said i am farsighted which means i've been fooling myself by compensating, and that if i would just relax i'd realize that i can't really read the words without a little help.
ouch.
happy valentine's day again.
lurv.
