TUNDRA TYME

Good ol' South Dakota has dished us out a generous helping of snow and cold. Lower Brule seems to have 'caught' more than its share of it. Ray and I were noting the exceptionally blowzy areas on the hills and the buttes as we were driving home this afternoon, and how the snow did not seem as deep in these spots. It didn't take much scientific deduction to figure out that the snow is not as deep there, as it keeps blowing until it drops into the nearest valley: Lower Brule. They have snow piled high.We had a nice service this morning, and felt that it strengthened us and those who attended.Due to the wind and snow, we have not gone to pick up the children for Sunday School for two weeks. Today was finally conducive to bringing them in. Enough time had elapsed, though, that many of the children were out of the habit of coming to Sunday School, and they were gone with their families. A few children came, and they were so happy to be out of the house and coming again. We had a quiet time and spent some time in personal conversation. After the singing and the Bible story in which they helped me tell by putting up the pictures, they worked on crafts.

We were beading crosses on chenille sticks, and they created other projects after they were finished with the crosses. It was a fun time, and we just enjoyed being together. Sometimes one of us would break into a little song as we worked, and the rest would join in and finish it. The children are so special.We start the college classes again next week on Monday, and I am looking forward to the classes. LBCC thoughtfully arranged my two classes so I can teach them earlier in the day and go home before dark. It was very kind of them. I will be teaching one English class from 9 AM to 12 Noon, and the next class from 12:15 until 3:15 PM. It will be a little intense, but it will be so much easier than last semester's schedule. Thank you for your interest in Lower Brule Wesley Chapel. May God bless you!
