some visual aids for you

umm....totally can't believe that football game....so sad....uga, my bulldogs...what happened to you this year?

thought i'd take this time to upload some pics for you...there aren't many, but here they are:

these are the pretty leaves i saw on the way home from work each day. gorgeous.



the crabs we made in class before our trip to the aquarium. aren't they cute??




the snow we had only about a week after i took that picture of the leaves!


a couple of my kiddos watching the snow fall. they were too adorable!



so, this past week we (meaning, gallery church) decorated and served for a "fall" dinner at the kids' school. these are two of the decorations...


i just love this quote...
a few other quotes i liked:

and this is the bottom of one of the vases that kristina put together



one of the girls playing with the pipecleaners we put on the tables to keep the kids occupied. they ended up looking like decorations, but they were fun anyway!


and finally, the picture one of the girls drew of me on the tablecloth....it's beautiful, right?


i hope you enjoyed the pics!
miss you and love you!

His Straight, Not Mine

Whenever I have a huge decision to make, I stress. My default mode is "what if I'm wrong??" This has been true for the last 10+ years of my life. College, mission trips during college, where to teach after college, quitting teaching, moving to Baltimore, leaving Baltimore, beginning seminary. All decisions fraught with questions, doubts, fears. And I'm there again. Graduated from seminary, looking for the next step. Wondering. Doubting. Questioning. Hoping. Dreaming.
