Well it is a little after 10 and we are beat. We got here about 4 today
and there were a few kids hanging around so we cranked up a kickball
game with some interesting bases and evoling rules. Seemed alot like the
72 olympics must have been. I still dont know exactly what constitutes a
foul ball or if there ever was a tag on a fly ball rule. The bases were
pretty funny. First was in its normal positon although about 20 feet
from home. Second was direction behind first and was the side of a
school house which had about 10 older kids in class while we were
bouncing balls off the side of thwe house andthe roof. We were all
hoping it was english class. Third base was very confusing. There were
three tetherball poles straight left from second up next to the fence.
The middle pole was third. And trust me you would get beaned if you went
to the wrong pole. Home was a patch of grass about 10 feet from where
you kicked from. Took some time but we settled into the rules pretty
much except for the foul ball thing. It was a blast. I was tired after
that but then the next wave of kids got out of school about 6. We played
a little bit of tag then it was a free for all with piggy back rides and
spinning around in a circle swinging around kid after kid. Man I got
serious dizzy and fell down at least five times. Of course once you
fell down the dog pile started. Man we were laughing and joking around.
I have never gottwn so many hugs either. These kids are so affectionate
they just walk up an give you a hug. Pan de Vida. The bread of life.
Maybe hugs are part of the bread of life and maybe we all need to give a
few more hugs.
We all ate dinner and man I saw some little kids slamming down some
serious spagetti. We served all the kids first and second and some
thirds. Ok so those of you with kids. Tonight at dinner there were 40
kids eating at 6 or so tables. Not one of them got up ONCE. Are you
kidding me? They raised their hands and asked for seconds. My kids have
not sat that long at thetable their entire lives.
Z is here and we talked a little after dinner I think he is goingto
share his testimony tomorrow. I mean there is no way the guy should be
alive given all the things that he has lived through. He is a gift from
God put on this earth to share His word. Hard to explain really. Just
seems he is in tune with the Man upstairs.
I am excited for tomorrow Jeannie had a blast and took like 300
pictures. Awesome. I miss my kids and wish they were here to see these
kids because they would be having the time of there life.
Hope you all are well the snoring has begun so must be time for me to
turn in. I do enjoy these notes I try and think of each of you when i am
writing them.
Goodnight.
