 Chatting and waiting for the Frisbee to come their way

 Frisbee craziness...

Snacks and fellowship afterwards

Its nearly impossible to get a normal photo of this guy

His little car

A sweet gift from a friend after we had been admiring her rose bushes

BLTs with TONS of bacon!

 Our little musician

Awww! Poor sleepy boy!

Cleaning out the peanut butter jar. Don't know why.

Formatting baptismal certificates...

Like this one.

Cleaning so the house isn't such a wreck!

 Sweet little helper!

Ha! Caught them!

Sunday:

A wonderful message, worship (lead by Jerry), and fellowship.

 We all gathered around the piano and sang hymns

Thanks to those great sound guys!

 Waiting in line to bring their families communion

 Singing after communion

Then hours of fellowship!

The Virginia Reel with some of the little girls after cleanup

It was CRAZY fun!

Then a late night movie with the family...

And a take home meal of Panda Express. Somehow we ended up with a whole ton of fortune cookies. Weird.

Look for a post on Monday!

Kindle Formatting Classes

We are blessed to have our very own author, cover designer, internal layout editor, and Kindle format-er, and all in all an amazing gal, in our very own family! 

 So... this Wednesday we decided to take advantage of that fact by gathering in the living room for a class from Perry Elisabeth. 

And in high-style too, with a projector and everything!

We took pages of notes and still there is more to learn and more classes in the future!

Thanks a lot Perry!!!

Sunday Craziness/ Joshua 6

Sunday was great! Pastor Y. preached on Joshua 6. He continued the story of the "The Joshua Generation" that our very own lovely Pastor had preached on two Sundays ago. (He preached on the crossing of the Jordan and the memorial of the pillar of stones. http://www.sermonaudio.com/

sermoninfo.asp?SID=38151739392) Everyone knows the story of Jericho, but he told it in a new amazing way, even applying it to modern life. 

And we got to yell during church! Someone brought a shofar (ram's horn), and we demonstrated the shout after it was blown. It was so cool!
After lunch we were led in communion and singing and the men of the church had a chance to share.
Next it was cleanup time and fellowship! Then we played an epic game of Ultimate Frisbee on the crowded little patch of green grass!
Exhausted and hot, we collapsed in the living room around 4:45 and burrowed into books, ignoring the prospect of dinner. Sunday was great!
