I was recently voted onto the board of directors of a local ministry -- Reins of Life. They use horses to provide physical and psychological therapy to those who need it (as well as a sort of "summer camp" of riding lessons for kids). Tuesday was the first board meeting. They showed me around their facilities, and I was impressed -- they have nearly 20 horses, a couple of classrooms, etc. They've had four foals born in the past month -- the oldest was one month old; the youngest was three days old. They were very cute!

I enjoyed meeting the other members of the board. They were friendly and helpful and happy to have me. The board only meets four times a year, and the board meeting was only about an hour long this time, so it doesn't look like it will be too much work. I'm glad I can help out.
