Feeling Down

It's been a lousy couple of days for me. Our church was broken into once again and all of our sound equipment and music equipment that was in the sanctuary was stolen except for the piano. Thankfully, they didn't vandalize the room. They jimmied the door with a crowbar or something and broke the lock open. This is the 3rd or 4th time they've done this since I've been there. I discovered it almost by accident. I went in my church office and noticed my file drawers were open. There were a few papers thrown about. Then I realized the petty cash was missing and it got worse from then on. The police were cool. THey really feel bad when a church gets broken into. Nothing should be broken into, but it just seems all the worse when people would stoop so low to break into a church. At least it does to me.

I guess I should get used to this by now, but I never will.

Biola Swimming Lessons

We decided that it was time to get Elizabeth swimming lessons. Having a pool, we've always been concerned about water safety. Zack could already swim well when he came to live with us. Elizabeth was swimming by about 3 years old. Maybe 4, can't remember, but she basically dog paddles. Neither Connie nor I are great swimmers. So, we signed up Elizabeth for lessons at Biola University, which is just about a mile from our house. Today is day 3. She is learning a lot, but she's not crazy about diving. Her instructor pushed her little fanny yesterday to just make her do it. She didn't like that! But she took it in stride. I was waiting for tears to come, but they didn't. Here are some pictures.
