Meet Courage!

Howdy y'all!

I’m a chicken, and my name is Courage. On Sunday January 23, 2011, my life changed forever! The children at Athens Link Fellowship adopted me! I was adopted from a place where other animals made fun of me...they even named me Coward! :( The children at Athens Link did NOT like that, so they renamed me COURAGE! I also received new garments- -I even have an American flag cape! That evening at church the whole Athens Link family celebrated my adoption. I had never felt so loved!

I have heard that dogs are a man’s best friend. That may be true but, I know that humans are my best friends, especially the kids at Athens Link.

I love laughing! My Creator is full of joy, and He wants my joy to be full! Laughing is fun and at Athens Link we laugh (A LOT)! My favorite jokes are “why did the chicken cross the road”. Heee-heee. I like listening to music, and my absolute favorite artist is Kelli McCalla (I heard one day she may even let me interview her...I'll be sure to tell you all about it!). Oh! And I like art so much! I also like to fly, dance and chase all my friends at Athens Link.

Our pastors Mr. John and Mrs. Cindy encourage our whole family to dream, and I like following their lead. Lately, I’ve been dreaming about visiting my friend Mercy and her family in Scotland. Ohh I would love to play with the children in Mercy’s family!

My new clothes!

Hello!

I am feeling very happy because my friend Lynnette has done something very special for me. She has made me some new clothes! I know everyone tells me I am so cute, but I did used to look a whole lot better before I had an unfortunate accident with my wool. Then I looked quite funny and some people even laughted at me. And my wool was not quite so warm in cold weather as it used to be. Anyway, Lynnette said she would make me a new outfit and now it's finished! Here's a picture of me in it:



It's a lovely outfit, don't you think? And Lynnette is even going to make me more outfits so I can change them. I'm so happy!

My New Friend!

Hello!

I have something exciting to tell you! Last time I was in Athens, Georgia, the people there decided to get me a new friend. They thought it was so great that I get to go on trips all over the world and tell my friends at Link Church Dunfermline about all my amazing experiences that they decided the boys and girls of Athens Link Fellowship should have someone like me to do the same! So they found Courage - here he is with me the first time we met each other:



As you can see, Courage is a rooster, and a very handsome rooster too! And you know what? Courage can fly! It looks like loads of fun, I wish I could fly but that's not something sheep can do (unless they are in an aeroplane). Mind you, I don't think Courage can fly far enough to come to Scotland without an aeroplane! I'm so excited because he's coming over with our friends from Athens Link in June - I can't wait to see him again!

Courage and me are both going to write this blog from now on. I hope he gets to do lots of exciting things and visit different countries too so we can hear all about it!

Georgia Bulldogs!

We're having a great time in Athens -I've met lots of new friends since I got here and,as you can see,they've made me feel very welcome! Do you like my new woolstyle? I know it's shorter since Maureen cut it for me but I'm getting used to it. I quite like my ponytail now too though I wasn't too sure about having a pony hairstyle at first. Here's more photos of me meeting some of the people at Athens Link Fellowship.

We had a very interesting tour of Athens and I had my photo taken beside a Georgia Bulldog! The REAL Georgia Bulldogs are the University of Georgia athletics teams but these statues are quite famous I think. It was so huge it would have been very scary standing beside it if it hadn't been painted with flowers! I got to sit in the front of the car on the dashboard and look out the window,which is my favourite place to be in a car as I can see everything and help the driver find the way to where we're going. Here's some photos of our outings:

My friend Diana made the photo collages - I'm very excited about them because I've never had any of those before! Did you like them?
