"Don't worry about it....Moses was once a basket case too." Saw that on a church sign and I fell in love with it!!!!

** From email sent July 12 **

Um....this week was kinda boring. Um....we've met a wonderful woman named Sister Platts. She came to church with us yesterday and loved it! She is so funny. We were teaching her on Saturday and she was in a Jesus nightgown with her hair all up in a wrap. We invited her to church and she said not this week. Get me next week and Sister Savage said, "well, what would keep you coming from this week?" and she said "I don't know what to wear!" And sister savage said "we don't care what you wear! you can wear that if you want to!" and we pointed at her night gown. She freaked out and said "There is no way in HELL that I am wearing this!" It was way funny.
And we met this lady named Barbara and she wants to be baptized she is really sweet. Just loves us.
It's been an interesting week. Had a turning point with Sister Savage on Saturday. It was really great. I'm growing....though I'm trying to deny it. I don't wanna grow up! I wanna stay young forever! Oh well....growing old is inevitable....growing up is optional! :D Ummmm.....other than that......it's been boring. Oh! I finished that poem and I promised I would send it when I finished it!

"Without Sin"
By Sister Kathryn Marie Hoggard with help from Sister Hayley May Savage ;)

Headed to the square,
They drug me through the streets.
Crying and stumbling,
They threw me at his feet.

"Adultery!" They cried.
"Look at what she's done!"
"Stone her now!" They scream.
"She must pay for what she's become!"

I sit and I shiver and I
Stare hopeless at the ground.
The crowd quiets down
As they gather all around.

The Master looks at them and
Then He looks at me and
Then His gaze is back on the ground
As though he hadn't heard them speak.

Staring at the ground
I silently start to cry
Knowing that I would
Be sentanced to die.

I look up and I see the
Master writing on the ground.
Wondering how? How can this be?
He again looks at the crowd around.

"He who is without sin,
Let him first cast a stone."
I cringed, waiting for the blow,
Only to find, none would be thrown.

I cautiously look up as
The crowd slowly dispersed.
I look into the Master's eyes
Thinking I'd be condemned and accursed.

The Master looks deep into mine eyes,
"Woman," says He
"Where are those thine accusers?
Hath no man condemned thee?"

I again look around me
"No man, Lord." is my quiet reply.
"Then neither do I condemn thee" He said
And once again, I begin to cry.

I gently take His hand in mine
and kiss them tenderly.
For He has paid the ultimate price,
So that all men may be free.

As I stood to leave,
He says "Go and sin no more."
All lives may start anew.
He has opened up the door.

All through my life,
I've never forgotten that day
When my Lord and my Savior
Opened up the way.

Yep......................That's my poem and I am quite proud of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love you!
