Mourning in Modesto

We are in mourning....our beloved Cubs lost to those stinkin' Dodgers and are out of the playoffs. Not a fitting ending to their marvelous season....Wait til next year! :-)

This and that for today.

Here it is October already! We had our first day of rain since last April. It sounded really nice pattering on the roof last night. The high was about 70 and when the clouds cleared this afternoon, it was a gorgeous day. Love that clean air!

I attended my Bible Study Fellowship leaders meeting this morning. I am enjoying the study of Moses. I am appreciating how God's word is so relevant even today. Some of the same objections I read Moses giving God in response to God's calling him to return to Egypt, I hear from me! "I can't do that" "I don't have the skills" "Send someone else" etc. God answered Moses with some tremendous guarantees as he also has promises for me and you.

I love my teaching job this year. 1st grade is a kick. Those little ones are just precious. I am trusting God that he will help me with the teaching part and all the unknowns. I met with each child's parent(s) last week for conferences and they went well.

Bill and I are getting ready to watch the Cubs/Dodgers playoff game. It is a must win for our dear Cubs. I don't want to be around if they lose tonight, again!!!
