&lt;P&gt;This was for my sketchbook.&amp;nbsp; It was my sister reading.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="http://photo.xanga.com/coztumegrl/9b743140835542/photo.html" target=_blank&gt;&lt;IMG style="BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px" height=400 alt=M12 src="http://x9b.xanga.com/7438247773618140835542/z103827011.jpg"&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;A href="http://photo.xanga.com/coztumegrl/90781140835537/photo.html" target=_blank&gt;&lt;IMG style="BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px" height=400 alt=M12 src="http://x90.xanga.com/781d947ac7c30140835537/z103827006.jpg"&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;These two were drawing with shapes.&amp;nbsp; The color was put down in the shape first and the line was added later.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="http://photo.xanga.com/coztumegrl/d22ab140835536/photo.html" target=_blank&gt;&lt;IMG style="BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px" height=400 alt=M13 src="http://xd2.xanga.com/2abd907a27c30140835536/z103827005.jpg"&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;This was another sketchbook drawing of our backyard.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In May I began selling Mary Kay skincare products &lt;A href="http://www.marykay.com/joyz" target=_new&gt;www.marykay.com/joyz&lt;/A&gt;.&amp;nbsp; I have meetings for that at least once a week on Monday and then any skincare classes that I teach that week.&amp;nbsp; Then there's all the activities that my recruiter holds.&amp;nbsp; Okay that's one thing.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Then there is the fact that two people quit at work.&amp;nbsp; Leaving three people there.&amp;nbsp; One who is me.&amp;nbsp; And since one of the three is only there two days a week it is pretty much me and my very intense overdramatic boss.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Three, classes are starting next Thursday.&amp;nbsp; I am taking fashion design classes through the Academy of Art University in San Fransisco.&amp;nbsp; The classes are online and summer session runs through August 22.&amp;nbsp; I am going to have to set aside time to do homework and such......&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Anyone know a good remedy for head explosion?&lt;/P&gt;

I'm not Delores Tucker, but you do have to be careful what you say. We shouldn't be constantly feeding negative energy to these kids. You can get rich with the devil's money, but you can only be happy with God's money." —Death Row Records founder and hip-hop kingpin &lt;B&gt;Marion "Suge" Knight&lt;/B&gt;, who's battling bankruptcy and ready to pull the plug on the influential label that launched the careers of Tupac Shakur, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre. The former mogul commented further, "I don't want to be tied up with this for years. I want to move on with my life in a more positive direction."

&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Ladies, don't forget the rummage sale. It's a chance to get rid of those things not worth keeping around the house. Bring your husbands. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The peacemaking meeting scheduled for today has been canceled due to a conflict.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Remember in prayer the many who are sick of our community. Smile at someone who is hard to love. Say "Hell" to someone who doesn't care much about you.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Don't let worry kill you off - let the Church help.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Miss Charlene Mason sang, "I will not pass this way again," giving obvious pleasure to the congregation. &lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;At the evening service tonight, the sermon topic will be, "What Is Hell?" Come early and listen to our choir practice. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Eight new choir robes are currently needed due to the addition of several new members and to the deterioration of some older ones.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Ladies Bible Study will be held Thursday morning at 10 AM. All ladies are invited to lunch in the Fellowship Hall after the B.S. is done.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The pastor would appreciate it if the ladies of the congregati on would lend him their electric girdles for the pancake breakfast next Sunday.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Low Self Esteem Support Group will meet Thursday at 7 PM. Please use the back door. &lt;/P&gt;
