Small group

Small group was fun today.  Chilly and windy, but fun.

The girls weren't supposed to be in the water fountain, but they were so cute I had to take their picture.Porter with the football!

Joe was playing football with the kids.  He is teaching the kids a route.

Porter is a new walker and Ann and Sydney were happy to help him.

Another water fountain shot, before she got her coat soaked and had to take it off.

God has blessed us with great friends and a fun small group.  We discussed the book "The Attentive Life".  We haven't been too impressed with the book, but we had a good informal discussion anyway and we all hope it gets better :)

Prayer request...

I just read about a former student of Joes from Northwood.  Her name is Sarah(Moneyheffer) Damaska.  She was one of our babysitters for Amy when she was a mere babe.
 So sweet, we were so not surprised when she married someone in full time ministry.  Her wedding was beautiful, she has since had 3 beautiful children.
Her youngest Annie Jane died tuesday of a brain tumor.  I don't know the details, they don't matter really.  She was 7 months old and had brain tumor that they just recently found out about.
My heart aches for them.  Like I said last week, God knows their pain and He weeps with them.

Please join me in praying for them.

Happy Birthday Baby Boy

My baby is 7 today.  It can't be.  Amy, our oldest was only 6 when he was born.  We have lived in the same house his whole life.  Seems so odd to me.

He had a long birthday list.  I think he may be disappointed when he opens his gifts.  No 4 wheeler, no ipod touch.  Only the youngest child thinks of these things.
  He will just have to make do with 2 new pairs of shoes, new lunchbox, (I know it sounds lame, but they were on his list too!), westfield rocks sweat shirt and pants, and The Star Wars prequel movies.  Grandma and Grandpa got him a bike and video game and uncle Buddy and aunt Leann got him a flag football set, so all the fun stuff was taken.
  I am taking in cookie cake for his class this afternoon and I drove him to school this morning.

 He is having a friends party on friday night- Football Themed.
Happy Birthday Baby boy!  He was born at 1158 pm, so he informed me he really isnt 7 yet.
I love you dearly, you have brought our family much joy!

These are of our little quarterback in action last weekend.

A.D.D.

Our new series at church has been looking at our attentive (or lack there of) life.  I have really enjoyed thinking about paying attention.  Not sure I have paid attention yet....but I have enjoyed thinking about it nonetheless!

2 things stirred my heart yesterday at church.

1.) a Promo showing senior high youth students and adult volunteers making a difference...

2.)  Singing a song which made me think about number 1.

hmmmm I am trying to pay attention but sometimes I think God speaks to me in French and I listen in Spanish.  Or another way to say it... the older I get the more I realize He talks to me and I dont hear.

learning to listen and pay attention.
