The Newsy and "Dashy" Post

Christianity makes so much sense!! The creation view makes so much sense!! What is people's problem??? Why can't they see it? I know one place that makes it very clear - the Creation Museum. That is where I found myself today - with my three little charges in tow along with LBA's summer camp. I had a very enjoyable day visiting the Planetarium, Men in White, the beautiful gardens outside, the petting zoo (complete with zonkeys), the "Walk-thru History" museum, gift shop, and an Italian ice / vanilla twist to top it off. I'm sure I could have taken a bit more in, read more displays, but alas, when one is responsible for three 1st grade girls, its been a good day if they all made it out in one piece, and semi - conscious. Well ... it wasn't quite that bad - I was just always doing checks - Ok, I see Nikita, Stasi, and where's Nicole - Nicole you must wait for me and not run off! And making sure we didn't break anything - I kept telling them - That's why they have these bars - we are to look not touch! But oh - it was fun. And they were actually quite good. On the way home, as I was munching on some more of my fabulous lunch my mom packed, Stasi asked if she could have some blueberries. Hey - when kids ask for fruit - they've got it! :) So I shared my blueberries with her. Then I started munching on sugar snap peas (I like to munch) and the kids wanted to try those. I thought why not - and surprise of surprise they all liked them! Such good kids. It was so priceless - when I was leaving LBA, Stasi burst out the door and said, "Thanks for the blueberries!" *smile*

Talked with Mr. Renaissance Man - Sam - on the way home from the museum. After talking, I thought I probably should have waited till I dropped off the kids. Driving while talking on a cell phone, I'm told, is not too safe! :) But God's mercy was watching out for my lapse in common sense and safety! (Still good talking with you, Sam!)

BTW - I so enjoy keeping in touch with friends. The blogging world has reconnected and helped me stay connected with so many friends! It's been fun. I've also been emailing Alea, from high school, who I haven't talked to since high school. She's doing well at Miami Oxford - I'm so proud of her!

And then I talked to my close friend Tiffany the other day - and she is doing well too. God has been answering prayer for her.

So I guess all of this is just to say - relationships are very important. I used to think I could be Miss Independent - you know - live on my island ... I don't need people! But that's not how God is - duh - He created us to have a relationship with Him. So keep cultivating that relationship with God and the people He's placed in your life!

*Step down from soapbox* :)

I am officially an employee of Panera Bread - at least my info is in the computer and direct deposit is set up! I have so much peace about this job. Everything is working out! Praise God! Saturday, I go to Planet Bread, aka, orientation, then training, and then I think I start the 30th! Wohoo!

Well, I'm going to wrap up this newsy and "dashy" (---- lol) post.
