Richard's Water Tour

We received the pictures from the Water Facility PR person and they were too good to not share. Richard was so excited when they handed him the lab coat, some gloves, and some chemicals to test the actual water coming out of the facility. The tests were interesting and Richard said he learned a lot! He came away from the facility with a lot of knowledge and goodies. They gave him a binder full of info, a hat, a water bottle, a cup, 2 pencils, a toilet leak tester kit, and a key chain. It was so fun to see Richard interacting with the facility staff. All around it was a good day. The science fair is this Thursday and the projects are pretty much completed. We'll put on the final touches today after church and then have a BIG rest!

The Hermit Crab Miracle

Ryan's Hermit Crab, "Tiny Tim", seemed to be on his last let yesterday due to the fact that he was out of his shell and would not move. We did what most parents would do at this point, which was to prepare our son for the passing of Tiny Tim. Ryan, who refused to let Tiny Tim go, laid in his bed crying and took the matter to his Heavenly Father. When I went in to pray with Ryan before he fell asleep, he told me what he had been doing. He said, "Mom, I prayed just now, and then I started singing 'Our God is an Awesome God'. I agreed with him in prayer that God could heal Tiny Tim, but in my heart I had my doubts that God would choose to save him. Well, when Ryan woke up this morning, the first thing he did was to check to see if God had answered his prayer. AND GOD DID! Tiny Tim is safe and happy in his new shell. Ryan's face in the slide show tells it all...."We Serve An Awesome God!"

Richard Performs Chapel with Class

Richard perfomed the chapel service with his 8th grade class on Friday, March 13th.
They performed the song "Grace Like Rain" in blacklights with white gloves. Richard performs the letter "r" and the "eye". I wanted to upload the video to this blog, but it says that the file is too big. So I have uploaded the video to YouTube. Click the link below to see the chapel.
