What do you want of
me? This past Monday, amazing playwright, actress, director Michele Morris performed
her own original play about Saint Teresa of Avila called "Teresita." It was a rip-roaring success on all
accounts! I will be writing a review and
posting it soon and very soon. In the
meantime, for more information, to book a performance at your church, school, or community center, click here.

Out of Africa, Burkina Faso My youngest sister Theresa is currently in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, West Africa for a dance
festival. Here’s the awesome promo video
for the Ouagadougou Dance and
Drum study abroad program to Burkina Faso, West Africa through The Department
of Dance at The Ohio State University and the Baker and Tarpaga Dance Project:
This video was made before Theresa went, but I really hope I’ll get to see some of what
she learned when she gets back whether it's in person or over Youtube. I would absolutely
love to have such an amazing opportunity as to travel to Africa to learn from
them about their music and dance. What
passion and power!
Please
join me in praying that Theresa and her friends will remain healthy and draw
closer to the Lord of all Dance during their time in Africa.

Beatles’ Musical Review This week I’ve been the assistant for Freestyle Dance and Performance Camp. I’ve had seven certain Beatles’ songs stuck in my head that we’ve listened to over and over. We’ve had fun singing, dancing, working on choreography, play acting with props, and preparing for our show for the school Friday morning. We had a terrific dress rehearsal Thursday, so I just know it’s going to be a memorable performance!

Kevin’s birthday We celebrated by incorporating some of my husband’s favorite things into the evening. I went and got the motorcycle pants he’d ordered from the Honda House, then I picked him up from work since his car’s AC doesn’t work well, and there was a heat index of 110. We went to Mass, had a yummy dinner at Famous Dave’s, and got to sing Happy Birthday three times. The third time was for Kevin. Apparently it’s a popular place to celebrate. Later we played some dominoes and Kevin looked at the many Facebook messages left by family and friends. (This is noteworthy since my hubby signs onto FB about once a year.)

Pimp My Ride Back in September 2006, Kevin made his Cursillo weekend with a gentleman named Ed Lambert who was in his 80s at the time. Everyone went into hysterics when Ed was overheard telling a story he’d watched on the popular TV show Pimp My Ride. At the age of 91, Ed went home to the Lord this week. Pray for the peaceful repose of his soul and for the many loved ones he left behind, especially Brady and Clay.

I just called to say… I’m
thinking of you. I love you. I miss you.
These are all nice things to hear.
This week John, our beloved brother in Christ, called from Europe to see
how we are doing and give us an update on his travels. Kevin and I both mentioned how great it was
to hear his voice and touch base even if only for a little while. One afternoon this week, my dear
friend/sister in Christ Laura called just to see how things were going. It made such a difference in my day that she
took the time to reach out and cared enough to call. Lord, please help us be open to the seemingly
little ways that we can show others love, compassion, and affection, because
through them we do, indeed, glorify You.
Head over to Conversion
Diary, to read Jen Fulwiler's wonderful tradition of 7 Quick Takes Friday.
