Last week it wasn't my turn to work with the kids, so I went to the regular church service.
On my in I heard someone call my name, but I was unable to see whom it was. Just as the service was getting started, I saw Pastor Scott come up to the balcony where I was sitting. He came right up to me and told me that Blake was back.
Blake is the reason I call this blog Purple Plastic Piano People. He's the one that played that piano that night.
Blake's been out for about 2 years now. He was sick. I've been told that he had strep throat and it spread into his brain. This caused some problems for about 2 years staight.
But now he is back. He's still a long way to go, but thank God for this bright light of God's love. I am so glad that Blake is back.

One more Saturday [I hope]
Last week there were no little ones in the class. As much as I love the kids, I was glad.
You see, I found out that I have the shingles. It started off when I was accidentally electrocuted a few days earlier. I knew I was in pain, until I went to the doctor I had no idea about the shingles.
It seems that the electrocution [which was mild, thanks for asking] pulled a Frankenstien's moster on a dormant virus.
Anyway, I have stayed at home ever since. I miss the kids, but I'd rather be at full health to be around the little tykes. They deserve that much from me.
I love those kids.

Ooops
I took one of the kids to his mom at church Saturday night. I started talking with someone and then we found out we'd lost the kid.
After alerting the ENTIRE children's ministry we found him in the hallway playing with the waterfountain.

Buddy Walk
I went on the Lowcountry DS Buddy Walk today. IT WAS AWSOME!!!!
I can't even begin to tell y'all about it. It was just so wonderful to see kids with DS and their supporters having a blast. I mostly love the friends of the DS kids.
During the actual walk, my group was just ahead of a group calling itself Josh's Army. They were chanting, cheering and just having a great time. One was even in a wheelchair due to a broken leg. He didn't let that stop him like I would have, he wanted to be there for Josh. I don't know Josh, but I hope to one day.
These are some awsome kids. You can learn a lot about Daddy God--our Creator--when you see how much how much love DS kids have.

In Awe
I served with the Won by One tonight. I am constantly amazed by these kids.
Michael is autistic. He is also very bright. I started to tell him tonight's Bible verse. "Nothing can separate us...." and he then said it all by himself "Nothing can separate us from God's love" I asked him if he knew where it came from and he answered in a questioning voice "Geniuses?" Well no, it's from Romans 8:39 but that's ok.
First, I love the way he calls Genesis "Genousis". After all it was an ingenious Creator that made this place.
Second, I love the growth in this kid. It used to be that when Nathan came into the room, that Michael would say "Oh no!" He's still very uncomfortable around Nathan, but now he at least says "Hi" before he cacoons himself in our play tent for most of the night. He's a really sweet kid.
