Well, until 3 PM when Kid's Klub will need helpers. Then off we go to help feed and structure and love the neighborhood children. It's quite an undertaking actually. But we, as a church, are attempting to be a vital part of their lives while we are able and have resources to do this. We are making this a priority, a ministry of love, so to speak, to children who live within a stones throw of the church building. What is "the church" anyway, if it isn't a source of love to their neighbors? Jesus said we should be doing things like that, and so we love.
It is a bit of fun then, to actually be doing things on my own schedule. For a while there, I was getting a little insecure and afraid of not being able to be me in my new place in life. But I think (today), I shall get the hang of it and venture beyond the limits that had been set out for me for the past 40 years. Now, I can, in some respects, make my own schedule, which undoubtedly involves husband too. I look around and see many, many women who are without their spouses and I become very thankful that Ken and I are able to do things together and talk about various life matters...together. I have not yet (and perhaps I never will) enter into the single person setting. Not sure I would like it either...but we take in life what is laid out before us and make the best of things.
Here are a few more pictures I took with my "Big Shot"!
She just sat there...immovable...protecting her nest!

My lovely.....enjoying the sun.
Beauty in a field..
He was only 3 or 4 inches long but could he move!

So, that's a blog post from mid-afternoon in the Kent household. Cooooooool.....
