Fancy That!

I taught my first few students how to knit on President's Day. I had one mom call and ask me to come over and get her and her two daughters going. They were ready to get started with some of my scrap yarn in hand. Casting on the first row was probably the hardest thing to teach. In about an hour's time they were knitting and purling up a storm!! I called this week to ask how it was going. The exciting news is that the girls had gone to the store and bought fun chunky yarn, and one was almost done with her first scarf!!! Yeah, you go girl! She keeps asking how to finish it, now. If you'd like to learn, give me a call. Let's knit!

When Mrs. X hires the Nanny, she is getting a "type C" job. It's a 70hr. week for Annie, and she puts her heart out there trying to win over Grover. I'll never forget babysitting a few siblings who insisted on eating the peanut butter out of the jar w/ a butter knife. I chose a spoon for them instead. This movie touches those heartstrings, especially of a part-time working mom, like me. I'm not sure I'd ever install a Nanny Cam. .
I am thankful to the mother/daughter team who were Jared's Nannies for a few months. They got me through those teething fevers that would have otherwise got him kicked out of formal daycare. (My Nanny had to go back to daytime college classes.) I was so glad to see a change in Mrs. X as Grover was such a sweet boy, and really a pleasure once he decided to stop testing the Nanny. I only recommend this flick if you can stand to love your children even more when the credits roll

I was flipping thru channels Saturday, and found this show. The recording studio scene pulled me in. Watching the 2 groups stack and layer voice parts was cool, and I really thought the girls and guys were doing a great job. Then the music started playing and Puff Daddy, P Diddy, Puffy, Sean John, Sean Combs - whoever he wants to be these days - walked in all "pimped up" wearing his fur coat and dark designer glasses. He listened to 2 tracks being sung, and throwed out, "Ya'll just singing! I need to be able to feel the wind blowing in my face and see in my mind where you are when you are singing a song. I ain't feelin' it. For now, ya'll just singing!" Ok, so these are the newbie's he's talkin' to. Guess what, Puffy, I get it. I get it that you know the difference - spiritually speaking - from the singers who have been "annointed" versus the newbies who don't have it yet. You're looking for a supernatural experience. You ask me how I know? I'm a Christian, and when I sing with my group/ choir the Holy Spirit annoints the songs, and the words are felt with power. Sure, we are "just singin'" too, but it's a whole different realm. When our praise goes up to the Father, blessings come down! He is exalted, and healing flows. It sure is sorry when Puffy can tell whose music has been annointed, annointed for the Wrong purposes of lust, and temptation, of adultry and fornication. How do they ever reach that level? I'm sure I don't even want to know.
