And the Carpet Comes Up....

It is amazing to see how much dirt is hiding underneath the carpet and padding of 27 + year old carpet! Marianna and Jared have been working to get it up and out....what a job!

The Mad Scientist at Work

David and I worked together with Heather Rodgers from Winona on a week long camp for gifted students called Summer Discovery. David, who is used to working with high school students teaching physics and chemistry, stepped up to the plate and presented all sorts of science concepts from solutions to electromagnetism, sound and light..... to elementary students!





Meet Officer Pierce


Jared is now a full fledged police officer with the Mississippi University for Women's Police Department. He is in a newly created position of Residence Hall Police Officer. He will be in charge of patrolling and being available to all the students in the residence halls. He will be a liason between the police department and the Office of Community Living, working to keep the campus safe and secure.
The Lord is giving him the desire of his heart, and for this we are so very thankful. Jared has wanted to be a police officer since he was a little boy, and this desire has only grown and grown as he has grown up into a man. We need men who love the Lord and who are willing to serve and protect. He is one of them.

Summer Discovery




MENTOS Geyser

David and I did the "Mad Scientist" for kids who had completed either first or second grade last year. Summer Discovery is a week long camp for gifted students; we have two teachers sharing the 8:30-4:30 day; Heather taught the "Cross Country Road Trip". Although it was hot and humid, we had lots of fun.
