Today my grandmother would have been 100 years old!
She passed away in 2009 but she has never passed from my heart. I learned so many things from her and just think about what an awesome birthday she must be having in heaven --- all her family around her along with all the angels in heaven! I think I'm jealous!
Either way --- Happy Birthday Grandma!
Here on earth -- my bus kids made it through yesterday so we now total 15 days with no discipline slips! Remember that 5 days was record breaking so this is . . . without words!
As for the stories --- each afternoon --- the very second we drop off at the second to last stop --- the remaining kids (about 15) move to the front of the bus and start asking (quite loudly) for stories!
Yesterday I tried something new. Jesus used parables (stories) to teach while He was here on earth. And even though I have to be very careful with "religion" on the bus --- I told the story of Joseph and what his brothers did and how sometimes we might want to do something bad to someone who has done something bad to us but . . .
To my surprise, most of the kids recognized the story and knew it. But one little boy was mesmerized and listened to every word. We had alot of fun with it and so I imagine the story telling will continue -- with a bit of "religion" brought in here and there -- so satan --- better just get off my bus because I've got news for you --- WE WIN THE BATTLE!!!!!
Until next time . . . we're taking our grandchildren to the circus this evening and I plan on having the time of my life as I've never been to a circus so . . . fun --- here we come!!!!

About Me
- Susan and Monty Scales
- We've spent years helping families rebuild their lives and homes after natural disasters. Those adventures have taken us to Mississippi, Louisiana, Indiana and Texas. God is now teaching me there are numerous definitions of "disaster." This new adventure of driving a school bus is taking me into a whole new world of "rebuilding." Stay tuned and see the hand of God in action! Jesus really does "love the little children; red, yellow, black and white . . ."

I was thinking of you when we watched a movie that is new out. It's called Unconditional and I think you and Monty should see it! We bought it at Walmart for $13; it is worth every penny!
