so we're thinking the cat has pulled out his stitches.... so does this mean the vet still needs to take them out in a week??? hmmm......
i'm leaving for YW's camp tomorrow.... this is going to be exciting. :D
i get to give a small devotional/lesson thingy on integrity (that's our ward's value this year). so i'll have pics posted by the end of the week, i think. :)
i've been trying to figure out what exactly i'm going to do for that lesson. i found some good stories by Uchtdoft- one about him flying a boeing 747...and how you need to know where you're going in order to have a happy and safe journey. you need to know that what you're using for navigation is correct and accurate, too.
but i'm thinking i'm going to use Aesop... he seems to do a good job of getting the message across.... ;)

say there, meaGan, if i ask a question, will you leave a comment on here anserwing my question? I think i spelled anserwing wrong, but for the life of me, i can't remember how to spell it. the question is: which aesop's are you going to us in your lesson? have fun at camp--you and your mom. love, sparkley grandma
that should be: which aesop's are you going to USE.
Well, Meagie, we both survived camp! Now you can post your lovely pictures. I didn't even take a camera with me. Thanks for hunting me down and hugging me every day at camp. I love you!
i used the one about the woodsman that lost his ax in the river... the ax was his sole means of making a living. so he sat down on the edge of the river and started to cry. the god mercury came along and decided to help him, but he wanted to test the woodsman's honesty. so mercury went down to the bottom of the river and brought up this silver ax and offered it to the man. the woodsman said it wasn't his ax... so mercury went down and brought up a gold ax. this one was rejected, too. so finally mercury brought up the plain ax and the woodsman claimed it. mercury was so happy that this man told the truth that he gave the woodsman all 3 axes.
the woodsman went home and told his neighbor about what had happened that day. so the neighbor decided that he'd try it out and see if he got the same luck.
the neighbor dropped his own ax into the river and along came the god mercury and decided that he'd help him, too.
the neighbor claimed the gold ax as his own, so mercury dropped the gold ax into the river and left... without giving the man
ANY of the axes.
soo... there you go. the loverly little aesop's tale. :D
i used another little story about this senator that went to this big party and wouldn't drink any of the wine placed in front of him... the hostess got mad cuz she thought he thought he was too good for her stuff... so later she went up and asked him about it (in a bit of a haughty tone) and he told her why he wouldn't drink any of it...he explained the word of wisdom and she appologized...
so i said those and some quotes and the definition of integrity. :)
yay for me... it's over!
