Last weekend had some more involvement with kids than the usual weekend. In addition to the two services where I serve with 4th and 5th grades, there was an earlier event for single moms, a Christmas party. No, I am not a single mom, but I (along with another from my Monday small group) helped […]

Okay, those are two things mashed together in the title describing events of Wednesday, my only day of subbing this week (though I am still trying for some Friday work). What happened to Tuesday? Well, I had to push my Monday photo work to Tuesday due to that annoyance to the daily routine known as

Tonight, my nephew/godson and his two siblings came into the store before Wednesday night CCD. I thought… uh-oh what is this terrible trio up to. Joshua (in his infinite wisdom) chose to ask me in his own special way if I would consider being his sponsor for Confirmation… “since no one else seems to be

It has been a few weeks now with nary a post from me. You’d think in all that time I would actually have something to say, but sad to say I don’t. Not much at least. This new job so far is keeping me a little poorer than subbing alone. Finding half-days for subbing to
Tonight was my monthly turn as worship leader at church. It seems like there have been a few songsters added to the roster making it seem like a longer stretch between turns. As usual, it went just fine with only one major goof… not musical. Opening song: “Gather Us In” went well an old favorite,

Whew- what a scorcher this day was! I am certain temperatures were in the 90s… The kids certainly got no breaks at meals with drinks other than plain water. Normally, they have to drink a glass or two of water at lunch or dinner, and then they can have punch or lemonade but for most
My son is ONE year old today – how time flies! He is starting to look like such a little man: This picture was taken at our church for his baby Dedication ceremony we had in June. Jesus said “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of
