We are on day 4 of our VBS experience. I promised I would blog each day about witnessing God's love in action at Northwoods Presbyterian Church. Today what really inspired me was the amazing volunteer crew that we have manning the VBS ship. Here it is day 4 and I KNOW they must be feeling a little tired as the week winds down, but you know what, you would never know it!

Today is day 3 at our wonderful VBS (Vacation Bible School) at Northwoods Presbyterian Church. Today I was inspired by the freedom of friendships forming. Today I found God's love being shared openly with all of the new relationships forming in faith! I spent the day watching friendships forming right before my eyes.

Death… I don’t like it
I am not sure where this blog will go, but today I wanted to write about my sweet father in law, Roger. Roger turned 84 last month and since I've known him, he has never been ill! His mother lived to be 103 as did a few of his aunts. He is an only child. We all just assumed Roger had another 20 years in him. God decided otherwise. About 10 days ago we got a call that Roger was admitted … [Read more...] about Death… I don’t like it
