Math....oh glory...we gotta find that math cd!!!!  

Hullo, love!

Hey, sweet girl!

This is just a place where I'm gonna tell you what I hope you can get accomplished today.  Also, just a place to let you know how much I like and love you.  Which, truly.  Is a whole lot.

The first thing I want you to do is read Philippians 1:1-11.  I want you to see if you can figure out who the author is and the audience.  Just by reading what he wrote - how do you think he feels about the folks he's writing to?  Do you have anyone that you think similar thoughts?  When you have time today...just think about the people you care about and pray/thank God for them...kinda like what the writer did for these people.  Maybe even write an encouraging note to someone like this guy did.  I want you to do some copywork.  I want you to write Philippians 1: 9-11 in your best penmanship.

(I love you, and prayed the same prayer for you and your brothers.sister today)

OK.

HOMEWORK!

You gotta do some math today.  I know.  It's horrible, but you got this!
