Conquer the equasion I must....

So mom's pulling Nopee's loose tooth and she (Nope) is coming apart, screamin' bloody murder. It was as if she was in labor (and doing a bad job by the way). I had a hold of her hand while mom wiggled and twisted the tooth. She isn't so great at following directions and with her free hand, after being commanded not to, she pulls moms hand down and out comes the tooth. Now Nopee is the "toothless wonder".

There is a balance equasion that I just can't seem to conquer. Maybe it is too late at night or I am just out of practice.

Tommorrow night we are having a children's church meeting at our house. I am in charge of music. I want to add some songs but I am no good at introducing them. I guess I'll figure it out. I had to get new music cuase the stuff we had was.... bluck. I have issues with people making children into mini adults. They need to be kids. They need to learn things in their songs. Their songs need to teach them about who God is and what he has done. Call me psyco conservative but I like Bible story songs for children. I don't think that there should be such a thing as Childrens church. I think that kids should go to church with mom and dad. But dad is head of puppet ministry and puppets do childrens church. He and two of my siblings are involved and then I was asked to sub for a week and have basically been given the music leader position if I am willing to take it.(Basically, I got completmented on how well I did and was asked to come back. I was so unprepared!) I dislike the way things are run right now (my dad does too). There hasn't been enough supervision and chaos has reigned. Dad is in charge of puppets as I have said and he can't be everywhere at once. We have some help but it is young and needs some direction. Dad is now in charge so we intend to change some things. I think I am going to start using Songs for Saplings music and some Bible action songs (Father Abraham,River of Life, My Jesus is a river of love, etc). I came in the first week with the Bible action songs. Kids participated and payed attention. Most of the kids know me and know that with me you obey or you get in trouble so it shouldn't be long before we have little to no talking when a leader is talking. If you have any ideas at all please tell me. Lana you work with kids at the river walk. Suggestions? I have found that the kids really need to know what they are saying or they get bored. They also have to have some interaction durring the music hence the Bible songs. Last week I introduced the sword drill and this next week we are going to talk about one of our songs ( It is based on Micah6:8). We'll see what happens. I would like to be able to correlate music with lesson. I have ideas.... but I need more.

I actually didn't intend to write so much about that. I must finnish my chemistry. I will have almost no time to do school tomorrow. Ick. I actually want to do school. (gasp) Actually I just want to graduate and if I do no school I can't do that. I will admit that school is interesting. It is the tests and such that I dread. Grades, oh, grades! Enough drama for this post.
