Happy Fourth of July, everyone!
Take a moment to pray for the men and women who are still 'over there,' preserving freedom for ourselves and others!
Take another moment to thank God for the free nations of the world, and – if you're American – for the freedom we enjoy here to worship as we wish.
God bless you and yours this lovely day!

Vacation Bible School is over!
Greetings! Last week was a busy one out here, as it was in many, many places, I'm sure. VBS can be that way. :-)
As music director, I was involved in approximately 2.5 hours of aerobics every evening, teaching all the kids that came how to sing the songs that went along with the VBS program. It was a BLAST, let me tell you.
But the best part of the whole week was Friday, when I found out that we had 225 children who had attended (a figure I hadn't known, because I frankly didn't have time to count heads each night) and that out of that number, 34 of them had made first-time decisions for Christ!!
It's awesome to know that a harvest like that was reaped in the course of a week. We pray and we pray for the hearts of the kids to be prepared...and then they take a stand and God is honored.
Awesome.
