A Gift to the World

Here's a video that I've already watched a couple times this week and will probably watch again tonight. It's a beautiful depiction of the bible story of Christ's birth. I hope you watch it and like it as much as I do!



And since it is a time to focus on Christ, I just want to share that I know Christ is the redeemer and Savior of the world. I'm so grateful for his wonderful and incomprehensible sacrifice. I know that he truly was born into this world to save us from sin, to comfort us, and to lift us. I have felt Christ's spirit so many times in my life and am grateful for the peace that it brings.

Merry Christmas!

4 year olds and Sunday School

Duke and I teach the 4 year olds sunday school at church. Today it was just me because Duke had a cross country flight this weekend and was gone. They are a crazzy handful sometimes, but they are also super cute. One of them is moving in a week and so today was her last sunday and she gave us a card that she made (with her mom), it was the cutest thing!

isn't it the cutest thing?? I love that she spelt Duke-D-O-O-C.

Here's some pics of the rest of them that I took today. The girl who drew the pics is the one in the blue dress.

Other cute things that I love about my class- today I asked "how do you choose the right?" And one boy said "I eat pizza!!!!!" I told him that was very right.

Also, their favorite thing now is "robot time". We ran out of lesson one day, and duke had everyone act like robots, and now we do it every sunday and it has been dubbed "robort time".  Real spiritual, huh? haha, it's the cutest things though.

In other exciting news I finally got a new computer! And not just any computer, but the one i've been waiting for forever!! Sold my wedding dress to get this baby. And I'm in love!!

bad picture, good computer

I leave you with this...

One Little Video

Love the Killers, love b. flowers. and his kids are cuties.

Mormons

I've never said much about my religion on here. I don't want to offend anyone and because I've just always held it a little personal I suppose. However, I saw this video again today and I really enjoyed hearing it and thought that others would too. In the light of all this Mitt Romney political drama, there's all kinds of Mormon criticism, which isn't anything new. Mostly I've been hearing people of other faiths define what we believe/who we are. Here is a leader of the LDS/Mormon church explaining why Mormons are Christians from Oct 2007 General Conference.

Take some time and watch it, whether you're mormon or not. It's some great food for thought.

m squared

If you are looking at my blog right now, you may notice a GIANT new header. I didn't intend on it being that ginormous, but I needed a new header, and at the moment I'm too lazy to fix it. But you sure won't miss the blog title when you come to my blog!
My sister brittany might say that I "copied her". She's grown up Brittany Bland aka b-squared; but while she was downgraded from the second power, I was upgraded. Soo, I was going to change my header from "miss mickelle" to "mrs mickelle", but i thought m-squared was a little more fun. So there you have it.

Another thing I wanted to share was this sweet song that's been stuck in my head lately. Before I moved down here to Florida, I taught the 3 & 4 year old sunday school class at my church. Part of it is singing time and this was one of the songs they were learning. I always loved hearing all the little kids singing it at the top of their lungs. Especially the chorus, "Jesus LOVES MEEEEE"-- that's how they'd sing it. So i've been listening to it on youtube lately. Just melts my heart.
