| So since it's been years (not that anyone ever reads this thing anymore) I'll update you on the exciting world of my life  . I still work at Kohl's, but only on the weekends. I still work with my juvenile court kids, and I still love them. And I still work with my church youth group. (And yes, I love them too  ) However, since my last post I have found a Social Work job. I work at a residential center for adults who are mentally retarded and who have other mental and physical disabilities. It is a job that I never saw myself doing in a million years, but strangely enough, I believe it's where the Lord wants me and I enjoy it. The residents there make me smile and laugh every day. They do the funniest things and I love when they come into my office after workshop and show me the pictures they made, or come in to talk, or even just give me a hug. They are precious  Today I went to one of the day workshops just to observe what goes on there and I was absoluetly amazed and blessed by one of the residents there. I happened to sit at a table with a man who loves the Bible. One of the program specialists would read a verse from scripture, and he would tell her what book it was in, and sometimes he could even give her the full reference. When she had to leave to assist another resident, he got out his very own Bible and started reading it out loud very steadily and fluently. You might not think much of this because people do that all the time. But how many people do you know who are mentally retarded, AND blind and yet can read the book of Jeremiah from a brail Bible, and not only read with their fingers, but also pronouce words like "Euphrates" and "Nebbuchadnezzar" perfectly!? I was amazed! And he had verses memorized too! So that takes care of any excuse anyone ever has about how they can't memorize scripture! He made my day and I was so encouraged and blessed to have been able to sit at his table with him today.

. Here are some of my favorite parts of the night:
Poor thing. Someone needs to tell her Butterfly does not start with "m". SO funny. 
and punch it into the register. After i have the register opened and am counting the change, she says to me, "How much change will I get back?" So I tell her "Thirty-three..." something, whatever it was. And then she goes, "Ok. You can give me the change out of there I guess."
