Back to School 2024

Back to School 2024 is earlier than most since we have a college freshman, Mac Laird settled in last week, Nathan Laird entering his junior year today at Central Baptist Christian School , Scott Laird  beginning his 2nd year as Adjunct Professor of Worship, and Ian J. Laird helping everyone get signed in as he continues in the Admissions Department at Elim Bible Institute and College . So, yes, three of the five of us (FOUR including our sweet daughter-to-be, Bridget Durant ) will be up in Lima on the "Holy Hill" each Wednesday this year! 🙏🏽

 As for me, I will continue to tend the "home base," direct our non-profit arts ministry Grace Worship Arts, Inc.  in our 17th year, along with Mary George and Aimee Peters! Beginner ballet students and our growing after school program will be my focus this year as far as teaching goes. Can't wait! 

I will be continuing in my creative work hosting Craft Retreats - our 35th this fall! - doing a few Pop-up Photo Sessions this year, writing, hosting in-person creative events & continuing my online business as a Stampin' Up Demonstrator. http://stampinup.com >> find a Demonstrator.  I'm excited for what this year holds.

We are so blessed with these incredible career and schooling opportunities, but mostly, so blessed to have a growing family of faith. That's all Scott & I ever cared about, though we want success for them ... we know that their only true foundation is that of their own faith journey with God. To work in the field of helping others meet the real Jesus, know His grace, find & develop their purpose, is all we've ever hoped to do. We are so blessed to do work that matters for eternity. 

Have a great year, everyone! 🩷🙏🏽
