Hey darlin! I'm so glad that I got to talk to you the other night, and I'm glad that you are loving your students. I'm sorry that it's hard right now. The education system is really quite broken, but YOU are making a difference. I'll be praying for you, and I do hope you find a church family soon.
Marge I love you and miss you! I'm really glad that you are there teaching those lucky kids. To have someone like you care about them must really make a difference. You are in my thoughts always :)
Hey! I stumbled upon your blog and wanted to throw this out there as a church suggestion. You may have heard of McKinney Fellowship Bible Church (http://www.mckinneyfellowship.org )already, but I wanted to try to help you in your search for a church home. I have never been there, but their website looked pretty good. I am a member of a church back in Austin that you should visit if you're ever in town on a Sunday - Austin Stone ( http://www.austinstone.org ).
Anyway, I know it can be hard trying to find a new church home. John and I still haven't found a church and we have been here for 4 months. For now, we are downloading video podcasts of Mark Driscoll's sermons (from Mars Hill Church in Seattle). We watch them together every Sunday and then discuss the message.
In any case, I hope you're able to find a new church home soon!
