i took off the music because it was making the site hard to get into…or delaying it…you know, another thing to worry about. 27 kids in Bible study…that was just 12 and under. lots of amazing kids.
Nathan and Darren showed up today. so glad to see them, because it has been awhile. i asked about their older brother and sister…Nathan said they are both locked up. one until he is 18 and the other for at least 5 months. i asked Nathan what he was going to do to not be like them when he grows up. he said he’d just not steal and stuff. am i simply sitting on the side, watching a tragedy of life? when will it stop? please pray for that family.
Taxes. i am off to do mine. ***** already did hers. (name erased to protect privacy) and got a 3 THOUSAND dollar refund. explain this to me. she claimed her 20 year old cousin. which actually, in reality, she is taking care of…
so…around the ghetto…tax time is the real Christmas. i had to break a 50 at the youth center snack store thingy. (gosh we need a name)
i love the hugs i get coming in. i love how they stop by the office to offically say “hello” and be noticed. i like the little kids who must have my attention 24/7. i love the girls who gave me their passwords to myspace because they trust me…i am gonna miss it here.
and the ironic thing is…i will be in Miami for the superbowl. the one time the Colts are in it. i didn’t plan that either. i intend on enjoying the day in the Everglades. someone told me it would cost like 4g’s to get a ticket anyways.
Erica, Danielle, Me, Jojo, Kenisha, Kayla, Savannah, and Tisha
Johnny, Jonathon, Leo, Savanna, me, and Dante
ain’t she pretty? i do portrait pictures for free…
don’t even ask me to name them…lots of new kids have been coming recently. this was after i beat them all in tag. in a skirt. is it me, or is the sun trying to point out the already obvious fact that I AM WHITE?
ball pit. hasn’t been cleaned in 3 years. enough said.
my boys. we lost our third game–128-130. i personally think due to a bad call…
L to R: Ben, Clay, Mr.James, Leo, Mark (in front) Vladimir, Johnny, Jonathon, Chris, Lamont, Larry, and Dante
i was inspired by the amazing artistry of Micah…i’d put a link if i knew how…but this was my attempt at capturing a place special to me.

That’s so cool that more kids are coming now! Great pictures.
Love the pictures, Rach . . .
It’s so exciting that you’re going back to Brazil . . . it’s so amazing to return to a place you’ve been before and grow relationships deeper. I’m totally excited for you!
Looking forward to your updates . . .
