Get up out your seat!!

I'm back, but just for a second. As everyone around me can attest, other than when the kids are awake, I take every second to study. In fact, I was just studying conjunction in the.... that would be too much information, but use your imagination. I study between classes when everyone else is talking and just taking a break. I study when walking to school. I just study. So I am really sorry you haven't heard much from me. But soon once we get past studying verbs, I will have more time. We pretty much have to memorize hundreds of verbs and their conjugations. "You can't talk without verbs" is the saying around here.

Anyways, I don't really get too excited about much. But in a church we visited a while back, we sang the most amazing praise song I have heard in years. I have been singing the only two words I can remember for the last few weeks. Even our kids know it now. The words are, "Toma, tomalo", which means "Take, take it (all)". I was searching around the internet and finally found it. Here are the lyrics and the link to the song. The song is also in English (by Hillsong), but I like the Spanish version. And when I get to heaven, I will be singing it in Spanish!! So learn it now and we can all sing together. Long distance Spanish lesson free of charge. Good luck staying in your seat and not dancing around when you hear this. I know I may be creating a stumbling block for my Baptist brothers and sisters. Just duct tape yourself to the chair.
