Curtis and I found this really cool machine online at Heartland America. It takes records (real LP's) and cassette tapes and records them to CD's. I have old 78's that were my tap-dance records when I was little that I had to practice to, probably 70+ records albums that are really great and would be nice to listen to in the car, and lots of Time Life Country Music on cassettes. So the plan was to copy these for our enjoyment and get rid of all the space taken up on these records and cassettes. Well....a friend went to a garage sale and found for $7.00 a entire box of ... no kidding... probably 100+ cassettes of all types of music!!! Well, I am copying cassettes. I put them in and FORTUNATELY it stops when the side is done....because it make take a while before I realize I need to go turn it over! I have listened to The Drifters, Kenny Loggins, Abbott & Castello, World Classic Piano, Sesame Street Anniversary LP, and a variety of others. While doing this I have been catching up on my exercises, reading a variety of magazines so I can pass them on to Jason's doctor office wait room! This has been a very strange day of really doing nothing but relaxing and listening to some very good stuff!
I had a wonderful early morning Seminary Class today! In September Susan Wolkow subbed for me while Curtis and I went to Las Vegas. I had her help the class make oil lamps like in the Bible Story "The Ten Virgins". The students took red clay and molded into lamps. During the past month and one week, the students have been earning points (drops of oil) for their lamps. They had to have their scriptures out and open, participate, help others, ask questions, be on time, etc... So today ... they received their oil! It turns out it was also AIMS testing...so some students didn't come. But the ones who did...we lit our lamps. The darker photo was taken about 6:10 a.m. We wanted to do it in the dark so we could see our light shine (Matthew 5:14-19). The other photo was with a flash. Susan came and participated with us...she was taking the photo. Thanks Susan for your help. Our theme in Seminary for the rest of the year as we study the New Testament is "How much Oil do you have in your Lamp?"
