I said I'll try. :)
Philomena got inducted into the Clear Lake High School National Honor Society last Sunday. Select students were invited to apply and then 18 of the 29 were accepted with the criteria being character, scholarship, leadership, and service. It is kind of cool because Philomena is still home-schooled and only takes a couple of classes at the high school. (Randy and I were both members in high school too.)
Stephen and Randy are Boy Scout camping this weekend which will be a lot warmer than last week's camp-out.
Philomena won her Single and Doubles match at the Clear Lake High School Tennis Match on Tuesday.
Tonight is a pampered chef fundraiser for our church youth trips.
Philomena and Randy are going with a group to the Milwaukee area for a week in June for Catholic Heart Work Camp. A mission trip where they help the poor and elderly with things like painting, fixing things in and around the house, yard work, etc. Last year they went to St. Louis and have some amazing stories to tell of how they helped people.
Stephen and Randy are going to the National Catholic Youth Conference in Indianapolis in November where almost 25,000 teenagers gather to praise God by praying, singing, worshiping, and listening to amazing speakers to learn about their faith.
Randy does an amazing job chaperoning our kids' events!!!!!!!!!
Tonight is also the Clear Lake High School Band Concert where Philomena will play her clarinet in the Concert Band and the Tenor Saxophone in the Jazz Band.
Here is a quote from Mother Angelica:
"You have to enjoy life without resting in it. You have to have zest for life but a desire for heaven. And you must see God in all things, realizing that He transcends them all."
Until next time,
Caroline
Build up, not down
