One special thing about Midland Christian is that every child gets recognized by their teacher sometime during the year. Alex's teacher, Mrs. Arnold, was my camp counselor long ago--a great lady. They were studying energy in science, so she said, "Alex Wall is an amazing form of energy. Scientists know that light, heat and sound are all forms of energy, but they obviously don't know about Alex. Energy can be defined as a will to work, the power to work and the capacity to work, and Alex demonstrates all three every day, in everything he does. This sharp and eager student shows great interest and enthusiasm for whatever he does, and he adds a most important fourth element to that definition--the power to shine for Jesus and light up his world with joy, laughter, love and fun! Way to "glow", Alex!"

Whatever else he accomplishes in this life, oh how we pray that he will always demonstrate that fourth element...
Here is Alex with his cousin Josh and friends after the Mustang Run. He ran 19 laps--not because he's really fast but because he's not a quitter!

Katy was so thrilled to be a candymaker in her school program. She was part of the song "Candyman". She loved it!
