"The Itsy Bitsy Spider..."

My co-worker Mike discovered this really cool spider web at the church today, outside a window, still covered in dew. Since I had the camera in the car I decided to see if I could photograph it (I've had a hard time capturing spider webs). I noticed how the dew drops up close look like strands of pearls.



As any of you who know me, or who have read my blog for long know, I spent 5 1/2 years working part time in the church nursery and part time as the church secretary. This past January I went to work in the office full time, having to leave the nursery and all "my other kids" behind. Although the decision to do so was the right one, I still miss my babies! So, these spider web pictures are in honor of all the accumulated hours spent singing "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" in the nursery.



Michael, Matthew, Mason, Joey, Hannah, Noah, Jada, Kaci, Riley, Dawson, Shelby, Hailey, Jordan, Maggie, Katie, Terryn, Cheney, and Chandler: This is for you. (I hope I didn't forget anyone!) Those of you still left, I hope you love your new nursery worker and I hope she loves you as much I do!

Spider Web

VBS is next week! Yikes! I'm still not ready. I'm the lead crafts teacher and it's always a lot of work but so much fun. This year we're making bulletin boards out of ceiling tiles. The theme is "Game Day Central" and everything is sports oriented. What athlete doesn't need a bulletin board on which to post his/her sports memorabilia??? I bought the 2'x4' ceiling tiles at Home Depot and it's my husband's job to cut them all so each tile will make 3 bulletin boards. He cut a few with a cardboard cutter and decided to see if it would work to cut them with a saw. It worked and he had the project completed in no time! As he was wrapping it up he ran inside and said there was something outside I needed to see and to bring my camera. There was a big spider web near where he had been cutting, and now it was covered in the fine dust from the ceiling tiles. He was such a good sport, holding a flash behind it so it would show up nicely in a picture!

Such is the destiny of all who forget God;

so perishes the hope of the godless.

What he trusts in is fragile; what he relies on is a spider's web.

He leans on his web, but it gives way;

he clings to it, but it does not hold.

Job 8:13-15 (NIV)
