...Dear Father God, I pray for the students and teachers and staff going back to school this year 2020-2021. I pray for a hedge of protection around them for the health and safety from this virus. I pray for their energy and rest in order for them to keep up with their learning. I, also, pray for the students who do not have the option of going to school in person; but, doing distance learning or virtual learning. I know they are longing to be in school with other classmates and having a time to bond with their teacher. I pray this type of learning is over soon. I pray for myself and other parents or g'parents that will be helping and watching over our children as they learn through a computer screen. Thank you, Father, for watching over us. Amen!

August 24th....
...The Covid19 abruptly stopped us in our tracks in mid March closing our schools...
...It's given us challenges that no one could ever have imagined, but we have trudged through...
...So, we will continue to trudge one day at a time...
...Today our bunny begins school using "distance learning", which she will continue doing until Tulsa County is in the yellow level for 2 consecutive weeks...Our Junies begin school attending in person w/ restrictions....neither is normal because of the Covid19 virus......It's given us challenges that no one could ever have imagined, but we have trudged through...
...So, we will continue to trudge one day at a time...
