summer reading

my cousin,http://www.momnaction.blogspot.com/, has been posting about summer reading. an avid reader myself i thought i'd join in with our family's current reading list.
princess: strawberry shortcake books, ten little monkey's, and her new bible
mapboy: the first book of america, usborne's book of presidents, usborne's child's atlas, rand mcnally's map
hubby: the myth of a christian nation, leadership bible
me: just finished and old series called the white pine chronicles, currently reading anne of green gables (yes, i confess to having never read my favorite movie!), ready to begin saint by ted dekker

as a side note...mapboy is a very good reader for his age. i'm not sure what level he reads it but it is beyond the 1st grade level. he doesn't like to read out loud, but yesterday while sitting in the waiting room i asked him to read the book to princess and me. in is best humor he read the entire book backwards! oh his poor teacher!!!!! he thought it was hilarious what the story said backwards.

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
