Decided to try to work on organizing curriculum books by grade. Couldn’t remember which books went to what grade. Got distracted looking for curriculum guides. Decided to print them to keep in binder. Found editable Transcript Sheet. Cool. I need to organize my files better so I can find them easier.
Whew! Hard to believe we only have two grades left for homeschooling. Glad I’m staring to get my wits about me back. It’s been quite a struggle keeping things coordinated (which I have flubbed up many a times over the past few years😮). I’m praying for God’s help to enjoy the last two years I have with Dezirae.

One of the Evangelists saw Joe wanted a book and he volunteered to purchase it for him. Neat. We had just given Mrs Crane a little bit of money to help towards the supplies for the Deep South Ladies Conference. Here God is already returning dividends three fold. Amen!
I enjoy going and rubbing elbows with great men of God hoping even a little bit will rub off on us.
I’m going to bed with my quiver full and a happy heart. Nevermind that my body is riddled with pain but there’s a peace deep in my soul. Thank you, Lord.

940 Joe asked if I could play Go Tell It on the Mountain. I played through it slowly. Apparently he watched me while I played it. When I finished he asked How in the world are you even playing the piano?
I replied, I don’t know. By the grace of God. Why?
He replied because your eyes bounce all over the place while you’re playing. No wonder you say you get dizzy. We really need a pianist so you don’t have to play. I replied that’s why I have to take naps after each service to give my brain a break. It gives me headaches.
My eyes are hurting now. Head hurts more. Close my eyes to rest brain for little while.
