Dear Family,
I
am excited to start a new job on the 27th. Permanent, full time with the Oregon
Department of Employment. That is very
exciting to me because I believe wholeheartedly in helping people be
employed. I love working!
Wednesday
night at Youth Group we had color wars.
This was very fun. One person
came and didn’t expect to get wet or dirty.
This is fine. Several people did
not get dirty at all (myself included).
Taking pictures is a lovely occupation and I enjoy participating in that
way. The youth have been respectful
about not getting me year after year.
This
one student decided to douse a teen with water from a bucket. This was thrilling for all involved but also
meant that Bobby then doused him. He was
so surprised! Then he became fully
involved and colorful like the rest of them.
So many smiles. At the end he
borrowed a towel. “Well”, I said about
his decision to get someone else wet, “Revenge is mine says the Lord, . . . and Bobby loves to do the Lord’s work.”
Having
Bobby home is so nice. He cooked chicken
on Thursday and I am glad he enjoys doing that.
Adriel
has been chatting with me often enough and I am glad she lives. She is such a bright light and was excited to
get a scholarship for skateboarding. How
fun to be mentioned in Thrasher magazine.
She also has another job tutoring children in skateboarding. She really enjoys that sport. She has also always been good with young
people. I wonder where she gets that
from?
Because
someone funny was in “The Golden Child” I wanted to watch the movie even though
Bobby said it was a bad movie. Seth saw
it on and asked what it was. He looked
it up online and said, “1986, this movie was made in 1986? Was it colorized?” We both insisted that movies made in 1986
didn’t come in black and white. Bobby’s
comment, “Nothing says you are old unless your child asks if they had color TV
back then.” (I looked it up, 1939 The
Wizard of Oz and Gone With the Wind showcased the potential of color films and
helped usher in a new era of visual storytelling.)
The Golden Child
is so bad it’s funny. The graphics – oh
my – I was not scared at the monster – I was laughing at how poorly it was
done. But I do like that the main
characters wanted to get married. That
is very wholesome. Not worth the watch,
but definitely worth Seth’s comment.
I heard that transferring
from a community college might be a very hard undertaking. Please pray with us for Seth’s success in
this endeavor. He still has a month and
a half so that is good. I am sure
administrators will get Seth where he needs to be when and I know God is in
control, but Seth is feeling a little stress about it. He does want to move out.
May you find joy
in doing God’s will. May you embrace His
guidance, justice and grace. Much love,
Cristy
