Pickle ball among other things....

So, sometimes I get the privilege to teach gym class at the Bible school.  It's actually quite fun.  I can't say that I am the most naturally talented athlete but I like to exercise, sweat, and push myself to do better each time.  Anyway...it's hard for the students to be so motivated early in the morning but I love to exercise first thing in the morning.  I think this friday was fun...we did a lot of running games and then I brought out all my rackets: badminton, tennis and pickle ball (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickleball).  It was really fun to see everyone running around trying to hit the birdie.  In the end it was a great idea.  For a few minutes just before we left my best friend, Brandon, and I got to play pickle ball.  Wow, it brought back a lot of fun memories from summer camp, tournaments every summer and good ol' fun.  LOVE IT!

I watched Lord of the Rings 2 yesterday night.  I have only seen the trilogy once and it's been awhile.  I really liked it and can't wait to see the 3rd.  I was watching it with the intention of trying to see more of the Biblical parallels than I noticed before.  They weren't as obvious as Narnia for example but they were there, this made the movie even better for me.  LOVE IT!

Here in Norway today is mother's day!  I guess in the US it's in May.  I have made 100 chocolate chip cookies that I will put together to make little gifts for the mother's in church and since we've had a new baby almost every month for the last like 10 months there are A LOT of mothers....LOVE IT!!

It's quite late here and I need to sleep now so I will sign off....

Have a fabulous day!  :)
