School started for 3 of the kids this week...the other 2 go to HeadStart on Sept. 13th.  I have been going almost non-stop trying to get my house back in order and Doyle has been making room in the church for storage.  One day 4 of the kids had to go for school physicals and tomorrow all 5 of them go to the Eye Clinic for exams.  They keep us VERY busy!!  

I posted 2 new albums in Picasa...one is titles "Back-to-School VBS with Lupton Drive Baptist Church" and the other is "Foster Children".  Make sure you check them out.  I have another album to post of the ladies that visited from Midway Independant Baptist in Cove, Arkansas.  Maybe I'll have time to put them on tomorrow afternoon.

Today we had a VERY good attendance.  I picked up 26 kids on the van and had a total of 29 in the class.. (30 counting me)!!  Bro. Deason and his wife weren't here today so I had ALL 29 by myself!!!   Doyle had a good adult attendance of 9 including him.  Our total today was 39!!!   It's growing a little more each week with new ones coming....PLEASE pray that the Lord will send us some permanent help!!!!!!   We could do so much more if we had the help!!!!  

I bought Silent Rae and Tonya  a really good devotional book and each evening I have special time with them.  Right now they are learning how to pray and how that God is Always with them and promises to stay close to them!!!  They LOVE this time and so do I.  Their hearts are tender and they are hurting right now with the knowledge that neither of their parents care enough for them to stop drinking. 

Headed for another BUSY week!!!  I've had several local moms calling to ask for school clothes.....I try to help out as much as I can.

Please remember our youngest daughter, Rachelle.  She is having surgery in the morning for Kidney Stones.  Wish I was there to be with her!!!

 Praying for everyone back home!!!        Sis. Sheri
