Dear Journal~

Howdy!  Ronee' here!  How are y'all?  Hope this finds y'all well!

I am doing better; am finally over that darn flare of a week ago.  Thought I was going to end up in the hospital 'cause I was hurtin' so bad; thank GOD that never materialized!  I just spent a few days in bed, and that was it!  :)

I'm now back to normal speed, thank the Lord.  Just don't like gettin' up in the mornings, especially on school days.  That's always been the case.

Tomorrow starts Easter break; we go back to school on the sixth of April (I think).  Can't wait; I can sleep in to noon or later if I want!  :)

We've been practicin' hard for the Cantata.  In the play, I'm one of the people who take drugs; I'm in the opening sequence after the crowds mock/crucify Jesus.  Great:  me, a goody-two-shoes, taking "drugs".  LOL  Well, that's what I'm doing in the play, and 'sides, it's only make believe!  I just want to tell people in my own way what drugs can do. 

I also get to sing afterwards; I'm singing "The Old Rugged Cross", one of my all time favorite songs!  :)

My brother, Johnny, is in the play, too:  he is playing the part of a little boy who supposedly drowned while on a family picnic; he (and his wheelchair) fell into the water.  His part's pretty minor, but it doesn't lessen its inpact, especially when he and his family are reunited in Heaven.

The most moving part, the one with the little girl and her mother, is being done by my maman (she's the mom) and Praise Williams, a very gifted little seven-year-old whom, I suspect, will be using her singing as her testimony; she is very talented for her age!  I've played that part several times in the past myself, and it's very emotionally draining!

That's right:  my mom gets to go to hell.  NICE.

I do, too; so there you go.  I'm a very baaaaaaaaaaaad girl!  I took drugs.  LOLOLOLOL

At least Johnathon gets to go to Heaven; he's spared!  (Lucky duck!  LOL)

Besides practicing for "Heaven's Gates And Hell's Flames", I have been busy with school.  Lots of homework; spent at least three/four hours (sometimes more) tryin' to get 'er done.  I'm soooo glad Easter break starts this week and next; I'm more than ready for it!!

Church keeps me busy, too, but right now, it's practicing for the Cantata.  We want to make sure we get it right, so this is why we've spent so much extra time practicing, rehearsing.  We have people praying for us, so hopefully no problems will materialize.  We've been praying, too, about it!

Then we have the Gaither Vocal Band coming to perform that weekend prior, so that will be a wonderful time; I love them, especially Gary!  He's soooo cute!  *grins*  Well, he IS!!  And he's such a wonderful singer!

There's a boy at my school whom I have a crush on.  Stinko.  (Not his real name; just a nickname; that's what everyone calls him).  His last name is Polish; I think it's somethin' like Stinkowicz.  Anyway, I like him.  A lot.  He's very nice.  I just hope he likes me for me!

It looks like the Reaux-ster has a potential boyfriend.  I hope.  NICE!  LOL  We shall see what happens here; stay tuned!  :)

Well, I am going to go; gotta get ready for chu'ch!  I will write in here again soon; until later, this is your friend, Ronee', sayin' so long!  May God bless you always, and have a super day!  Loves ya!

(((HUGS))) As always, your friend in Tennessee, Ronee' Le-Anne Reaux.  :D
