Big Bear cabin raffle update

I've been neglecting my page! I had to put the Big Bear raffle on hold due to the forest fire that started in October. The new cabin dates for the lucky winner: January 16-18, 2004. The Big Bear mountains have been packed with snow and skiers lately so it will definitely be a White Christmas for some. I'll be announcing the winner soon.

Student and Teacher

I enjoyed my return to school as a student. I just realized that I had a few things in common with my professors. I got an 11 out of 10 on my last project for my web design class. I didn't know that was possible. My instructor, Dr. Westfall, is a fellow cancer-survivor (he had colon cancer) and supports my web page ideas and even signed my guestbook. Dr. Aaron, my literature prof, is a fellow ukulele player and is a great lit professor. I enjoyed my classes immensely. I continue to teach fourth grade Bible study. I didn't think I would last because the kids were falling asleep on my first day. The kids will tell me what they like to do. They love to act so we act out our prayers instead of reading them. One student even wrote a script and gave me a part to play. Their favorite game is Jesus Jeopardy where they hum the game show tune and answer in the form of a question. They made my day when they asked if they could be in my class next year for fifth grade.
