Flu

I’ve been tutoring a second grader for about two weeks now. It’s been a great eye opener about how little kids think and learn. They are truly sponges. If you happen to be doing youth and family ministry studies you should definitely keep this in mind. This “sponginess” doesn’t just extend to learning—but the flu as well! Last night I worked with my tutee. We’ve been working on a diorama from one of the Curious George books. It just so happened that the little guy was pulled from school early because he had the stomach flu. It turns out that his mom still wanted him to study. Yesterday morning my fiancé fell ill to the flu. There’s a pretty good chance that I’ll have it come tomorrow because I’ve been taking care of her today. Yikes. I haven’t had the flu (the non- “bottle flu” kind) since college! I’m praying that I don’t get it. In other news—January term came to its official close. I’m still finishing one last aspect of my hypothetical “Introduction to the Bible” class. All of my extra work is due on February 2. Consequently, I better get to work on my Habakkuk bible study (try to say that five times fast)!
