Dozens of cooped up children raced to be first on their favorite piece of outdoor equip- ment. For Sally it didn't seem to matter much. Somehow, her mind was preoccupied with some- thing much greater. "Come on Sally," her friend Carol cried out. "I've saved you a swing. You've got to hurry though, I can't hold it forever." "I'm coming," Sally replied, as if suddenly waking up from a dream, and then began running half-heartedly across the busy playground. "What took you so long?" Carol asked as she released the last available swing she had saved for her. "Oh I don't know," Sally' replied. "I guess I was just think- ing about how I'm going to spend the $10 my father gave me this morning." 'Ten dollars!" Carol exclaimed. "Your dad didn't give you $10." "Oh yes he did," Sally answered. "And I think I know just how I'm going to spend it." "I don't believe you," Carol blurted out again. "Let me see it." So, with that Sally dropped her feet to the ground and dragged them through the dirt as her swing slowed enough to let her jump up and out. As she began digging deep into her pocket, her friend Carol's swing came to a stop also, and out she jumped anxious to see if Sally was telling the truth. With all the confidence in the world, Sally grabbed on to the tightly folded bill that was in her pocket and pulled it out. reach Center will host an Ancient The Amelia Plantation Chapel Paths seminar on empowering will feature organist Peter Deane relationships from 6:30-10 p.m. playing hymns and music for on Feb. 1 and again on Feb. 2 meditation during Lent on Wed- from 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Recognizing nesdays; Feb. 13, 20 and 27 and that "the problem is not the prob- March 5, 12 and 19, from noon to lem," facilitator Craig Hill teach- 12:30 p.m. es how to communicate on a rela- Ash Wednesday service will tional level versus a topical level. be at 4 p.m. on Feb. 6 and Cost is,$85 percoupleand $45 -.
