Happy Things

All from me, for once!

• Slumber parties
• Playing Monopoly--and memories of playing it while sitting on the Rec Room ping pong table
• Chad and Jonathan carrying a canoe across Meridian St. for their verse teaching at Bible club
• Hanging out with the leaders, LITs, and Paine kids at the park in the rain
• Being invited to Mrs. Rodgers' birthday table
• Caleb K. playing basketball with Micah M.
• Alison threatening Joel with purple x's
• People enjoying reading through the old Happy Book
• The myriad ways I can find to procrastinate in school
• Memories brought back by listening to Craig's recital CD
• "I'm gonna barf, and it's going to be on Tabitha." --10-yr-old Elijah, after his team was assigned to pick up trash with Refine and no other guys team
• "Kendra could intimidate any guy." --Daniel S., after I told him that the girls weren't scared to walk back to the training center without him and Michael V.
• God leading Chad and Jon to go out at night and invite kids to our Bible club, so that eight new ones showed up the last day!
