Little Hands 10 on 10

3 sets of precious little hands fill the day with fun and laughter.

Behold, bless the Lord, all servants of the Lord,

Who serve by night in the house of the Lord!

Lift up your hands to the sanctuary

And bless the Lord.

May the Lord bless you from Zion,

He who made heaven and earth.

Ps. 134

Go West, Bob

My name is Bob. I live in Cleveland. And this is my story.

My mom lives in this harsh and barren place by choice. Can you believe it??! But that doesn't mean I have to stay!! Thankfully, there are people that care enough to liberate me from winters trap to take me someplace I can thaw. 

I attended a conference with my mom, Sue, before leaving home for warmer climes.

This is Kimm Carr, the Executive Director of Community Bible Study. I sat attentively and quietly while she spoke and learned so much. I think I'd like to be a leader when I grow up, though public speaking might be a problem. Reaching the mike is a challenge!

I'll be a much better Bob thanks to my time spent in CBS!

This is my liberator, Mama J, introducing me to Young Chase, the National Director, Childrens Ministry in CBS. We got to ride in the car for a few hours together. I'll always like Young. 

Ruth and Michelle were happy to make me one of the gang!

VERY early in the morning after leaving Cleve-too stinking cold-land, we headed for the airport. This is my first flight!!!

Checking in

My foster folks are obviously connected!

I really wanted to make some origami animals out of dollar bills, but Mama J said it would be too hard without thumbs..... and fingers......

It was raining when we got to AZ, but it's better than that "stinking white stuff."

Gramma is teaching me how to knit....

But I think I'd rather do stuff like this outside. They put me on defense because of my height... ????

I wonder if this dog got in trouble.....

This is Daddy J. He's happy to be out of the snow too!

I love limes! Especially in March!

It's apple juice. Honest.

Ouch!

I got to meet some of Mama and Daddy J's friends, Jenny and Blake. They were real nice, but I have to tell you, I got a little dizzy from the height!

I could SO get used to this!!

Playing with the kids. I don't think they were normal kids. They were very quiet.

And a baseball game!! Woot!!

Mama and Daddy J took me to the store named after me!!

And then............ they introduced me to manna. Pure, yummy, life changing manna. Moses would have loved it!!

Maybe I can work here while I teach in CBS!

I've learned some new games too!

After a fun week out west, today I'm heading home. I'd love to stay, but I'm sure Mama Sue misses me terribly. And I miss her too.

Bye Camelback!!

Hello Ohio!

Knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things

like silver or gold from your future way of life inherited from your forefathers,

but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, 

the blood of Christ. 

For He was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but has appeared

in these last times for the sake of you who through Him are believers

in God who raised Him from the dead, and gave Him glory, 

so that your faith and hope are in God.

1 Peter 1:18-21
