Not my Prince Charming...

Push ups? 

When I arrived yesterday afternoon at the large villa where a dozen of our female students have been living during the LDC, someone came and asked me if I could "help them get something out of the swimming pool." To my amazement, I looked to the bottom of the pool and saw a frog, possibly one of the largest frogs I'd ever seen, lying on its back and, somewhat mysteriously, clutching a pair of swimming goggles!
I fished it out with a net and we were amazed to see how perfectly formed it was. We couldn't resist placing it on the staircase leading up to the house - so that the other girls could admire it too. Some thought it was a rubber toy and just ignored it, while others got a real shock and gave it a wide berth. No one, however, perceived it as a potential Prince Charming, and so our froggy friend didn't get any kisses, I'm afraid.

We're in the last week of the Leadership Development Course, so we're beginning to do a time of debriefing and helping the delegates prepare to go home and put what they've learned into action in their own locations. We'll also have a variety of workshops and question and answer times, before finishing the week with a special meal, a "graduation" time of presenting certificates, and a creative commissioning time.
