Tying my knot and hanging on

I am asking that you would pray for Karen. She's getting into trouble and doing things that hurt other people. She has hit a couple girls on her soccer team a couple times. She always says it's an accident, but it's getting hard to believe that. Last night the hit in the back was hard enough to drop the girl to her knees. Karen says it's because she's so big and tall that she can't control her body or was just swinging her arms and it hit. She apologizes, but really shows no remorse. Her tears seem to be "everyone hates me" emotion.

I called the school counselor today. He's new to elementary, but has been in the district for 18 years. He is a Christian pastor who loves Jesus, so that is wonderful. He's going to call her in and maybe set up weekly sessions. I pray she opens up and he can find out what's going on. He can talk about Jesus, so that makes me happy.

Please pray for wisdom for Paul and I. Pray for healing for her, whatever it is that needs healed.

Thanks.

Fairly Fun Fair Fun

Karen did great with her fair entries. 5 blues, 2 reds, 2 whites. She earned $35! We had a lot of fun at the fair with lots of good food. We were there from 1:00-8:30. Curtis loved the 'woller coasters' and Karen and I had fun on the big kid rides.

Karen eating her traditional roasted turkey leg. Curtis did not enjoy the Goliath Slide.
The biggest roller coaster. Curtis went on it 3 or 4 times.
The Drop Zone.. one of my favorites. I took this pic from the top of the Ferris Wheel.
Karen shows her muscle.
