I’m officially on Week #4 out here in Cookson.
Canterbury UMC has a program called Spirit Hands. I think my pictures explain it better than I could in words:
This is supposed to be a candle:

I was an extra set of hands in the Day Care today. I've never really taken care of babies though. So, that was definitely a new experience for me.
The woman I worked with, Pat, is a retired Day Care person. She has been a foster parent to 98 children over the past 15 or so years.
I’ve heard some incredible stories of the things that children have endured before they were put in the foster program. Pat said the worst child she ever took care of had a cast from his waist down when she got him. His parents were very cruel to him. Also, the little girl, Shelby, who sat on my lap my first Sunday at Canterbury, is a foster child. They found her and her brother in a play pin and she was playing with a surge protector that was plugged in. Some of these foster kids have seen and endured so much at their young age.
I went to AA again tonight. We talked about Attitude and Gratitude. I hope to stay involved with the recovering alcoholic and recovering drug users’ community.
My Student Media Advisor from NC State sent me this slideshow about the election in Zimbabwe.
Anna and I saw an awesome fireworks show from our trailer:
This picture is for my Dad:
It's rained quite a bit here on Cookson, Ok. The lake keeps getting higher and higher:

Wow, that is a lot of foster children! Its amazing what a little love and care can do after adults haven't really cared for them.
I am glad you included that sotry in your post because it is something I can relate to since I work with a foster agency during the day.
