On the bottom

A few meaningful things:

One of the 8th grade kids came to me and asked some probing questions about the bible and spirituality and Christian lifestyle. It's cool to see that their religion/ Bible class is having an effect. Please pray for me that I will be able to answer their questions, or at least point them in the right direction :)

The other day a few of the kids saw my water bottle and asked if they could draw on it. I said yes, but said they had to do it on the bottom (I had no idea what they might write haha). I didn't even think about it until later that night when I happened to pick it up and look at it, one of them had written "Mr. D is awesome!".

I have drawings covering my refrigerator from the little 1st and 2nd graders. They sit there in aftercare and draw me pictures of their house and rainbows and hearts and whatnot; I'm running out of space.

Hugs from kindergarteners. All of them. At the same time.

There are other things that have moved me, and as I think of them later I'll try to edit them into this post. Usually though, too many things happen in a day to remember them all later. I can see Christ at work here. Please continue to pray for the school and all of us who work to make it a success.
