We just have a few things to mention this evening.  Time got away from me as my daughter leaves for a college camp tomorrow.  All of her clothes are clean so she is good to go.  This is the first time for her to drive to Waco on her own.  Dad's tend to stress out at these moments.  I am trying not to do that.

Today was busy but still very good.  I wish the sermon was better but it was a struggle.  Pitchers in baseball talk about whether or not they have their "stuff" on any given outing.  Mine just wasn't working.  I am still grateful for the full house in attendance.  Even better is the fact that two of my favorite people joined us this morning to become members.  My son entertained me tonight when we got home from the student swim party.  It's just us two this week so lets hope for the best.

Vacation Bible School starts tomorrow night.  You can not ask for more decoration or preparation by all involved.  My great hope and prayer is that God will not just bless our efforts but that He will do more than we imagine possible.  Temptation is always present for us to just ask God for blessing our work.  Sometimes we may find that He wants to do more than that.  God has a way of undoing even our best plans so He can do something creative.  I truly pray that is the outcome all through this week.

We could mention the weather but its a broken record now.  Just be careful when outside to take care of yourself.  Make this a good week for you as you walk with God each day.  That is enough to celebrate no matter the temperature.
