What do
puppets do when you are not looking? Was
my African “David” trying to A) stand on his head; B) turn a somersault; C) pray;
or D) ___________?
On November 9,
I left Bible Club during coloring time, hurried home to grab food before
rushing off to a farewell dinner for a colleague friend. I quickly grabbed
David from my tote bag and plunked him down on the table without looking, hurried to
get a pot of green beans from the stove (YEA!.. .still warm and a quilted bag
would help keep them that way), and dashed off to the dinner. This is the way David
landed and stayed till I returned him to his rectangular Cameroonian fabric tote bag ‘house’ the next morning to protect
him from the dust that comes in the windows.
David enjoys
being with children. He loves the Psalms written by the Biblical David and he
likes to lead others in his favorite song, “This Is the day the Lord Has Made” (Psalm 118:24).

LEFT: Thankful...for answered prayer. On November 8, only four kids were present at starting time (they usually come early)... but after prayer for more youngsters to hear God's Word, our group gradually grew to 31. Thankful for the opportunity to share the story of Naomi and Ruth - rich with takeaway lessons.

David could hardly wait to start making new friends.

Now what was
David up (or leaning down) to? It finally dawned on me…He is really excited about Grandma Gracie
(who loves Proverbs) coming to live with us soon. She was initially expected next weekend (update: hopefully early December).
I’m excited
also! Please do not expect me to stand on my head.
