Wow, it's been a while since I've been here. Our summer has been especially busy. First, Zoe's birth (1st grandchild!) then Scout Camp then Flagstaff then Aldersgate then Becky's wedding... now the kitchen is all torn up to paint etc. Anyway it seems like just yesterday that Nancy was off for the summer. Now her contract starts next week and she has already been out to school to get her classroom ready.
I wanted to put something on here about my experience at Aldersgate '06 in Springfield, Ill. I left home very angry over a lot of things. I've been in this place for some time now. The biggest deal was the loss of my candidacy into licensed pastoral ministry. This still nags at me quite a bit... but... it is dead and I just need to get over it... anyway... back to Aldersgate- usually I go each year to learn something to use in ministry... something to teach others... this year it seemed as though I should look out for #1 if you will. I began the conference asking God to deal with me in regards to my hurt, disappointment and anger. Well, to make a long story short, He did in fact hear my prayer and began dealing with me. I decided to jump right in front of His grace and let it hit me head on. I honestly believe a healing has begun in my life and am looking forward to what God has in store for me. We are so conditioned to not "play in the highway"... it is hard for me to stand in the middle of God's highway and hope and pray that He hits me head on. But that's where I intend to be. Until next time, Via con Dios!

Kids worship at Grace
I've been helping Miss Stephanie and Mr Tom with Kids Worship at church lately. I've been doing the bible lessen often. A lot of parents are doing a lot of stuff right with their kids. It never ceases to amaze me how much Bible knowledge the kids have.
Whatever I can do to help them retain the knowledge they have, add more and make it fun... I will
Thank You God! for kids.
