No Matter What We Do, He Loves Us

When I hear this song, it is always God speaking to me:

I've Always Loved You, by Third Day

I don't know how to explain it
But I know that words will hardly do
Miracles with signs and wonders
Aren't enough for me to prove to you

Don't you know I've always loved you
Even before there was time
Though you turn away
I'll tell you still
Don't you know I've always loved you
And I always will

The Seagull Still Soars

6-school meet (rescheduled due to thunderstorms a couple of weeks ago--it should have been 13 schools.)

Rose Bud ran her best 100m in 15.46s

Her 400 m was slow at 1:14 and she was 3rd in her heat--the other heat was faster.

She placed 2nd in the long jump with a jump of 12' 6 1/2". She jumped over a foot better than 3rd place. 1st place was 12' 10".

She is disappointed though because her jumps keep decreasing and she's jumped farther than 12' 10" before. She's thinking she should have had first. She's hard on herself. It was good enough for this meet.

3rd 3rd

Track Meet 4

100m 4th in her heat, time: about 14.7
400m 3rd but they didn't get a time on her.  She thinks, based on the runners behind and in front, it was about 1:12.5
Long Jump 3rd with a jump of 12' 2" (top jump was 13' 3")  She's not feeling her jumps and is frustrated that they're decreasing.  It WAS really windy.  She wants Mr. GT to rototill up a new jumping pit for her.  (he planted her other one!)
