At times .(esus felt the need 10 seek refuge in solitude. so we may also feel comfortable with this need.

Pastor Don Talbot delivered the message. dwelling on the theme • "What God Can Do for a Man if he Mary's Musings By Mary Alderson We're in training for the Olympics. The Olympics in the year 2000 that is. Now when you're just six months old and doing well in most areas. it's rather difficult to decide what you're sport is going to be. The way Chelsey rolls and wiggles on the floor, we were sure she was going into gymnastics. But recently she changed her mind. and decided to be a swimmer. Canada has developed a reputation for a strong swim team, thanks to Alex Bauman and Victor Davis at the Los Angeles Olympics. Chelsey has decid- ed to follow in their footsteps -- or should I say swim fins? - Her swimming career was launch- ed with a few good kicks in her bath tub on the change table. From there. she graduated to Mom and Dad's hot tub. She soon made it clear that she was not going to wear the life jacket that she wears while boating. She has gone on to swim in the river, the lake and friend's pools. Her swim strokes still need perfec- ting; that's why I say we're in train- ing. there is sometimes a lack of co- ordination between the way the arms flail and the legs splash. Also. her breathing technique needs some coaching. Some of her problems stem from the fact that she smiles all the time she is "swimming". When the water splashes. she starts to laugh and in do- ing,so often inhales half the pool. That creates.a lout of coughing that often ends up as giggles. The giggling can lead to snorting. which again makes her inhale more water. None of these problems deters her. She just plunges on. She enjoys her swimming so much that I thought a little professional training was in order. Alas. not enough of her six month old counter- parts signed up and no classes were held. When you're going in training as a swimmer, it's important to be dress- ed properly. Also, one wants to look one's best when you're relaxing on the beach or lounging at poolside. Chelsey's bathing suits show off her well -muscled legs a or is that pudgy? to the best advantage. There's just one problem. Do you wear a diaper under your bathing suit when you go into the water or not?
