Connections

   We moved to a place where "nobody knows my name". I've never been in this situation before. I'm not really sure how to make connections other than at church. My MIL suggested story time at the local library. I looked that up and it's Fridays at 11. We're going to try that this Friday. Also, I looked on-line for local social groups like MOPS or something like that. I think I found one, but I must admit, it makes me a little nervous to meet up with a group of people I don't know, that I found over the internet. Do any of you have any experience in this area?
   I started some bible verse memorization with Hollis yesterday. I not much of teacher so I'm learning a lot too through this process of starting to teach him. I've always been kind of nervous about homeschooling because of my lack of teaching talent. But, I really feel we need to keep him home at least until I feel he has a good grasp on the truth about God. He really enjoyed talking about his verse and reading the passage that it's from. It brings my heart joy to see him enjoy God's word. This will also be good for Dane and I because we will memorize the verses too. Also, it will remind us what it's like to see God through the eyes of a child. All the wonder and amazement. We may not be the perfect parents but we're certainly going to try as hard as we can. If any of you have any quick tips for teaching a pre- pre-schooler that would be great!
