I GOT TALENT!!

Sorry for all of you that were not able to come to HSN's annual talent show. You missed several stellar performances. My 10-year-old did a magic show, disappearing money (quicker than it does in your gas tank), cards, and even water (a good thing for the girl whose head the cup was tipped upside-down on!). He was really nervous, but got through it great. Out of all the enteries, my #1 pick would have to be Cailey singing "I am a promise". Partly blind, and only six, she had the crowd in the palm of her hand. That girl's got spunk! Second favorite was Stacy Gordon, a mom, singing Martina McBride's "Anyway." Knowing Stacy personally, it was a tear-jerker.

I do have to say, though, my performance was up there. My oldest son and I acted/performed "There's a hole in the bucket", and we starred as Dear Henry and Dear Liza, an elderly couple who discover there's a hole in their water bucket. To fix it, they get a stick, but the stick is too large. They try to cut the stick with a knife, but the knife is too dull. They try to sharpen the knife with a whet stone, but the stone is too dry. They need water to wet the "whet" stone, but
THERE'S A HOLE IN THE BUCKET!! We wore old-people clothes and even false, nasty looking teeth. There were many laughs. I even got accused of "willing to do anything on stage." So maybe it's true, what of it?

On another bit of news, our homeschool network, yet again, needs a new website. You'll remember if you scroll through the blog that this was the case back in November. I had to come up with a new name then and I chose "Incognito." This time around I think I will pick either "Songbird" or "Dear Liza."

Well, my WIC appointment is calling my name, so I must go. I just wanted to share this verse today out of my Bible reading: James 3:17-18 "The wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiallity, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace."

Our joyful tip for today is "I am joyful as I sow seeds of peace in my relationships with others."

TTFN,
Joyful Jenn
