Again?!?!

Well, my record for not being sick is four months. I woke up this morning with a deep seated chest cough and aching all over my body. Yes, I think it is the dreaded flu. Right now I'm feeling OK enough to blog, but earlier this morning I was just out of it. It's not that I'm flat on my back sick, but bad enough to just be home and watch movies and TV.

Anyway, we had another good Friday. Adam spoke about dating to the kids. We had fifteen kids. This next Friday, we are going to start a "kiosk" -- a place where we can sell food for the last hour we are together (from 9-10 p.m.), and I will be leading the kiosk. I am excited about it -- we bought pizza baguettes, hot dogs, Oreos (difficult to find for a good price here, but we found them!), candy, and soda.

Yesterday, I spoke to the 6th-10th graders about prayer for the second week in a row. Last week, I spoke to them about boldness in prayer (using the parable from Luke 11 about the friend at midnight), and this week I spoke to them about persistence in prayer (using the parable from Luke 18 about the unjust judge. It seemed to go well... I got a nice comment from one of my friends in the church yesterday. I told her that I taught the kids yesterday, and she said, "You know what? I was talking with some of the girls, and they said it was so much fun whenever you taught, that you really take part in the games, and are just a lot of fun!" I thought that was so nice to hear because sometimes I doubt if I am making an impact, but it looks as though I am!

Well, I'm off to rest now... prayers for continued health are much appreciated!
