It's late. Almost Saturday morning. I am both wired and relaxed- even sleepy. How can that be?! So I'm browsing through pretty pictures, knowing I have to get up in mere hours to go with four children and their mom to see a 3-D version of the new kids movie "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs". Silly title for hopefully a silly film.
Following the movie, perhaps my brother Jay and his family will not have left our mom's house yet to drive home (two hours away) and I can see the family for a little while.
If not, I'll work on some pages to be handed out to junior high girls at church on Sunday – to introduce them to our small groups (each girl will be in a group according to her grade: 6th, 7th or 8th grade – with two leaders per group.) We're going from two junior high leaders for the girls last year (me and one other person) to SIX people. So great. We have college students who are helpers…and they're so enthusiastic and passionate about their faith and about working with teens that it'll be a fun year working with them.
We have a table to decorate to draw the attention of the junior high girls..so we're going for Girly Glamour. Lots of black background (tablecloth, foam board) and then gold accents with pages personalized for each leader with little quirky facts about each leader and an introduction to each group. My favorite quirk about my assistant leader is, "I like a good bowl of cereal." Quite random yet stated in all seriousness.
Here's my midnight rambling. Aren't you lucky?! At least I'm not telling some story about some uncle's cousin's neighbor's stylist's client's grandmother who saved sugar packets from restaurants for 80 years and left it all to her grandkids.
A better idea is to let you enjoy these pictures from a favorite French blog.
