Small Request..


Ben and I have been praying a lot lately about his future. He LOVES coaching baseball at Carey and would love to stay, but they do not have the funds to hire an additional coach. So what does that mean? He's on the prowl for a job. What is so sad is that he really got his hopes up for the assistant job at Carey. My heart really breaks for him.

Statistics (don't get bored)
I don't give him full credit for Carey's success this year, but someone is making an impact. Carey is ranked for the first time since November 2005! (#16 in the country) As they say, I'll let the numbers speak for themselves. They are 24-5 in the conference. (24 wins and 5 losses--yes that is good).

Anyway.....
I ask that you keep him in your prayers. God opened doors at Carey for a purpose. Only he knows the future and I have faith.

Yours,

Amy

Love Bears All Things

Well, I haven't had the time to get on here and update everyone on Bear. Oops! Bear is living it up in Tylertown, MS and getting real comfortable with his new owners. I know you are overjoyed to hear this news Uncle Huey!

Tasha (the girl who gave him to her parents) broke down and told me the actual story to how Bear ended up at her parents. She basically told them a little white lie. She asked them to keep him while she figured a way to convince her husband to keep him. After a week, her dad told her she couldn’t have him.

Bear has taken his cast off (about a month after having it on) and I guess he will be fine. He still hops around like it is still on his leg. I will have to get an update in a few weeks to see if the leg is better. But, he is definitely happy about his living quarters. Tasha had to go out of town for a week and dropped her pup, Jack, off at her parents. They picked up Jack to put with Bear and he did not like that he was going to have to share his living quarters with the new guy! Funny, huh? Evidently he is happy and at home. Another precious thing is that Tasha's mom called her so excited that Bear came into the house for a “rub.” He is extremely close with her dad, but not the mom. (That is how he was with Ben and me! Something to wonder about..)

Other than that, school is going well. I got my teacher evaluations in and they were okay. They weren't bad, but I get down with any type of criticism. I want to be the best and don't like to be anything less. I was a little annoyed that they only evaluated two of the six classes I teach. One class had only four students in it. Oh well. Next year will be better! I can't believe I am a few weeks away from finishing my first "big girl job." Boy has it been fun and challenging! I have loved it. I will find out soon if they want me back. Some say I am crazy for making that statement, but no one ever knows until they receive that contract! :) Well, I’m off to bed.

Yours,

Amy

Socialism


"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

Summertime!

I don't know about you, but I am SO ready for summer! I am about to get out of this office and "head out on the highway"! The pretty spring day is calling my name! This summer is going to be busy but productive. I plan to knock out 3 classes in grad school and make a little extra pay by teaching some online classes. To help feel this void I have for summer, I created something I can look at during the day. Enjoy!




Yours,

Amy

Ye of little faith!

Well, I hope everyone can now exhale slowly in relief. Bear has been found a home! Yes, Uncle Huey—I am not going to email you anymore about him! God truly is an awesome and mighty God. Only God could do something like he did. Let me tell you the story:

I, along with a friend of mine, wanted to get to know more people our age in Hattiesburg, so she started a Bunco group. I went Tuesday night and met a sweet girl named Tasha. After getting to know her a little, I added her on Facebook and we started talking about Bear. She told me she was interested in him but needed to talk to her husband. Oh no! Not the husband!

You may ask why I say that, but a week ago I had a girl interested in him but the husband shut it down. So instantly I knew this one wasn't going to work. Ye of little faith, huh?

Day one rolls by with no call. Day two drifts by, without a call. Just when I was about to give up hope, I noticed that I received a post on my Facebook wall. She said, “My parents want Bear.” Those four little words brought tears of relief. Someone wants this little pup. Tasha and her husband left earlier headed to Tylertown to meet her parents—VERY excited! I just got through cleaning the porch where Bear stayed. I didn’t cry—I just smiled. This dog truly brought a lot of joy into my life.

After analyzing the Bear situation, I think a small reason God brought this little pup into my life was to restore my faith in Him. All I had to do was be patient and watch. God takes care of his children and his animals.

Yours,

Amy
