It's nearly Christmas!!

It's been a crazy few weeks. SO many things going on. Concerts/performances, etc. I'm actually surprised that I'm home this afternoon for a few hours. *lol* Life has gotten somewhat complicated over the past month w/all of the bad news about the economy. Brian is now working a 4 days work week, which is a little scary, but thankfully he still has his job and there is a pretty good chance he'll be back to a 5 day week after Christmas break. So we're tightening our belts and praying we can weather this storm together. God is good and He always provides. I know He will this time. Surprisingly, O has done well w/this news/tightening. She understands that there are certain things we can't do anymore as a result. I'm thankful that there's no moaning and complaining about things.

So on to different subjects. O is the editor of the high school TV channel ~ it's called LCTV. And w/this role she's definitely matured some. She has a lot of responsibility to get the broadcast on every day as they go live. She is handling it well. I'm proud of what I'm seeing. To know that if she continues for the rest of her high school years that she will have been the first editor for LCTV, she wants to make sure that it's a good legacy and one to be proud of. She's teaching her staff how to do things and making sure that she's fair in her decisions. She takes the reins of actually directing solo after Christmas break. Her broadcast teacher will be handing over the *God mike* to her. She's jazzed. And I'm jazzed for her.

She knows that she needs to treat people w/kindness & respect. And to not think less of someone because of their place in class rank or whatnot. But to get to know people and then make a judgement about who they are. Valuable lesson indeed. :o)

Ok, I'm rambling, she's blowing behind me, I'm having trouble concentrating, so this is a short blog. But at least I posted a picture of the Winter Concert. ;o)
