March 3

By | March 3, 2008

I’ve collected a few things to share.   There are a variety of things that I’m learning but don’t share because either I don’t have the time or you don’t have the interest.

Fun: Here’s a prank done in Grand Central Station.

Cool: We sold our queen mattress to a silver medalist in track at the 1996 Olympics.   Since he was buying it for $50, I’m guessing that he’s not rich and famous anymore.

Weird: Friday night we watched Bourne Ultimatum.   Saturday morning a sale came through the website by David Webb.   (So now I know what happened after he swam away; he got saved and now teaches Bible geography!)

New: I started teaching adult Sunday School class in America for the first time.   If you’re not sure what’s new about that for me, try: 1) adult; 2) Sunday School; 3) America.   I think it went well.   We’re studying 1 Samuel.   We made it through 10 verses (in 40 min.).

Didyaknow: A blog post is not a blog.   (If you don’t write blogs posts, you don’t need to read this.

Monumental: Luke turned 10 today.   I think that’s more significant than a 10th wedding anniversary or a 40th birthday or whatever.   We’ve really been parents for 10 years now.

    Well done Todd & Kelly! Happy Birthday to Luke! 10 years old…he’s getting really close to those teenage years! :) You’re right on the brink of them…EXCITEMENT! It’s hard for me to believe that its been 7 years since I was in Israel. My heart misses it & I think & talk about it often. All over our house we have “things” to remind me of that very special place. It’s cool b/c they give me opportunities to share with our kids my experience, the culture and the Lord. I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying and growing from your “American” experiences! Keep in touch.
