Well this weekend was a special one, for more than one reason. First my friends from Ohio came out and visited. Thbey came out to see their family and then came over here for the “nightcap” before they headed back. It took us a bit to decide on where to go for entertainment. For a […]

It’s been a while since I wrote a church post, so here we go. A while back I mentioned the 4th and 5th grade moving into a new room. The old one was getting kind of cramped and so when the church redesigned the area in the front of the church, adding a mini-café and
Today was a special day that occurs just once a month. 10AM, first Tuesday of the month- the testing of the disaster sirens all over the area. I’ve always wondered what if there was a real disaster at this time? No one would believe it. It is also the season for testing something else. For

Well, teaching in Sunday school that is. Unlike last time I taught a month ago, I felt I did pretty well this time. I was able to do 1½ lessons this weekend. The ½ comes from last night, when I taught only half of the lesson. Why? Well, there was a shortage of leaders due

Several years ago my church had the choir sing on 4th of July weekend, and this is one of the songs. I pray that as you reflect on the freedom we have here in the US, you will reflect especially on the freedom we have in worshiping as we please. There are many places now

Well, mostly. Anyway, I have returned and apparently the site I thought would link to my HPX page never did so (EDIT: there was a post there- I just missed it and so apparently did everyone else!), so there are no comments there. In the last couple of days I have caught up on much

This is a time of transitions. Of course, as you know this is the time school days transition to long vacation time for the kids. They will be transitioning to the next grade, moreso of course these days than yesteryear. Once upon a time schools believed that holding back a child who wasn’t ready for
